Wordless Wednesday ~ Unknown Family in Atlantic City

Another photograph from my mother-in-law's collection. We have no idea who this family might be.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Portrait of Four Unknown Children

The personalities of these four children come through in their faces. Look at how the oldest is showing off her confidence in keeping her younger siblings in line.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Unknown Girl with Ringlets

I wish I knew who this smiling girl was. And I also wish this had a photographer's imprint to let me know if it came from Philadelphia or New York or New Jersey. This was from my mother-in-law's side of the family, so likely Segal or Levitt or possibly Goldstein.

Wordless Wednesday ~ Unknown Woman at Window

This woman is probably a relative on the Segal side of my mother-in-law's family.

The photograph was taken at Caplan Studio, 706 S. Fifth St., Philadelphia.

Eight Years of Blogging!

I started A Jewish Genealogy Journey eight years ago when I realized that my husband's genealogy stories would appeal to a slightly different audience than my first blog, From Maine to Kentucky.

Looking back at this year's posts, I see that they were almost all about the Handler family. Most of the posts were part of a series about a half first cousin once removed of my husband's, Herman Handler. Each post shows him in a different record, showing that an immigrant ancestor can be found in many records. Links to all the posts in the series are at Obituary for Herman Handler.

However, I did enjoy writing about my husband's grandfather as a jitney driver in Miami.

For those of you still reading my blog, thank you! I will try to post a little more often in the coming year.
