This photo was found with other family photos. Could this be the Chapman Family of Massachusetes? This picture of "Rose/Rosina" looks so much like her 10/15 yrs. later. She is the young lady dressed in white and with glasses. She was born 1895/1896. I have a few others to compare this with.Maybe these are her parents/grandparents? And possibly a brother?

This photo came from Rhode Island. From an estate sale in Providence. There are about 20/25 photos of this family. A very generous young lady from the Tulsa, OK. flea market gave these to me for just this reason; to find their family and home. I have done some research on this family, very interesting. I found "Baby Everill "Christened in Sept. 1919, and she was named for her Grandmother: Everill TAYLOR from England. Parents are Herbert and Rose TAYLOR. Who are her descendents? She has a sister, Arline TAYLOR (WIGGINS).

I think the young child in the photo is Everill Taylor, daughter of Herbert and Rosina. This is a great photo to have because I was able to read, with a magnifying glass, all of the names and dates. This info is invaluable for your geneological research. I do not know the name of the Cemetary, but it is in Providence, Rhode Island.The elder Taylors were born in England.
