Effie Mae playing cards or telling fortunes. (Mother: Hannah Macy Diveley; Father: Unknown) Burnside Bambrough.

Effie Mae was born in 1908 in Brownstown, IL. She was 16 years when she pretended to be a fortune teller or card player in this pic. Her last name listed on the back of the original photo is BURNSIDE, her first husband who died jumping off a moving train. Her father is unknown. A fake father surnamed Fisher is listed on her birth certificate. My Aunt Effie & my mother, Jennie, said that Fisher was not her father. Effie's stepDad is Henry Krempp. She had no children but two husbands: Bill Burnside & Bill Bambrough. She died in Peoria, IL. Her Mom, Hannah Macey Diveley, died 1922 when she was an about 14 years. Her half-sisters, Marie, Blanche, & Jennie, moved to Holdrege, NE to be taken care of by their Maternal Aunt Clara (nee: Diveley) Fleischman. Her brother, Henry, was unofficially adopted by Joe & Annie Nagel, & they eventually moved to Arizona near the Navajo Indian Reservation.

A photo of Daniel Tobin and family of Hackbridge London.

I found this picture in an antique shop in Penetangushene Ontario in July of 2009. On the back is written "Mr. Tobin and family Hackbridge" The only Hackbridge found on a google search is a subway stop on the London underground. The 1901 census shows the following family that are a good match for the older children in the photo. It helps that in the photo they have arranged the older child in order of age. Daniel and Jessie married in 1885 and by 1901 had 7 children. The photo has 15, so 8 more have been born. At an average of one every two years this picture was probably taken around 1917. Daniel was born in 1867 and so was 50. My guess is that the picture may be around 1920 as the boys who were enlistment age do not have their uniforms on and some of them were likely in the war. It being over at the time of the picture meant they were dressed in civilian clothes.
The back row can probably be named accurately in this way;
right to left: Matthew, Jessie, Daniel, Caroline, William, then Annie. Helen is sitting in front of Matthew. The other children will have to be named when the 1911 and 1921 census' show the family. One of them must have had family that moved to Canada for the picture to end up here. Daniel Tobin is the father. Jessie (Bennett) is the mother. I hope a Tobin who recognizes the census lists below will find this picture. Below are some census records and a birth and marriage reference for the Daniel and Jessie.

This is a photo of my mother, Lena Rorick, at age 5 years old holding her baby brother Morris on her lap.

This is a photo of my dad, Sol Baum, age 10, with his older half-sister, Lilly Baum Broza, daughter of his mother (my grandmother) and her first husband. Lilly was born in Austria, I believe, and was left there with HER grandmother for a few years, while her mother (my grandmother, Fannie Apfelbaum), came to New York. There, Fannie met and married my grandfather Abraham (who also had been married before), They had one daughter, named after my great-grandmother, Devora. This little girl, Deborah, died at a young age. My middle name, Diane, is to honor her. (As her name, Deborah, was to honor Devora). My father was born a few years after Deborah died.

A photo of Hazel Vincent & Vern Burtleson - Mutual, Woodward, Oklahoma ca. 1908. The back of the picture postcard says: "Hazel Vincent & Vern Burtleson representing Japanese." I find it interesting to see photographs of our ancestors dressed up in a costume.

Photo taken by G.S. Smallwood: A double exposure "spirit" photograph of a girl holding flowers, surrounded by "spectral" faces of four people.

You may look at this and just see a double exposure. But this kind of "spirit" photo (often purposely faked, not accidental) was very popular around the turn of the 20th century. Photography was relatively new and spiritualism was very popular. This photo would have been seen as proof that the girl had three spirit guides around her, protecting her.
