Favourite Photo

One of my favourite photos is one that I have written about before My Favourite Family Photo, not only because I believe it is one of the oldest photos I own, but because it is an Ambrotype.

Honestly, it's very hard to choose a favourite among the 1000's of photos I have. Some are prints, some slides and many digital. One of my goals is to ensure that all my printed photos are digitised for preservation purposes. 

In fact, any family photo is a favourite. 

This is a list of ancestors for whom I have no photo, and would love to come across one:

  • Alexander Dunn SMITH (1823-1877)
  • Helen SMITH (nee TURNER) (1816-1903)
  • Philip WEINHEIMER (1827-1895)
  • Clara WEINHEIMER (nee WEIBLER) (1840-1879)
  • Thomas BRAY (1845-1915)
  • Susan BRAY (nee HAMPTON) (c1845-1926)
  • Sidney ANDERSON (1813-1877)
  • Jane ANDERSON (nee ADAMS) (1813-1871)
  • Elizabeth ANDERSON (nee PARKER) (1841-1880)
  • John HIBELL (c1826-1915)
  • Ann HIBELL (nee LLOYD) (c1829-1896)
  • James DROVER (1829-1887)
  • Catherine DROVER (nee RODGER) (1819-1883)
So, my current favourite photo is one of the most recent of my grandchildren, who are holidaying in Australia.
