Sepia Saturday: Virgie Bliss and baby...
From Aunt Ruth's scrapbook...
Ruth and her family took a trip to Oakland, CA in 1926.
I don't know if they knew Virginia Bliss or not, but Ruth snapped a photo of Virginia and her baby anyway.
Caption reads, "Virgie Bliss and baby."
From a quick check of the 1930 census, I found Virginia Bliss (born about 1903), wife of James Bliss, living with her husband, 3 1/2 year old daughter, Frances E., and 24 year old brother-in-law, Adam, in Oakland, Alameda Co., CA.
I'll haunt the Ancestry trees to see if I can find descendants to offer them a scan.
Probably will upload to Dead Fred if I can determine if no one in the photo is still living.
If you are related, just right click and save...

no subject
I am trying to connect to my family - why would Virgie and babe show up in Aunt Ruth's photos?
Thorps and Blisses do not figure in. There must be some other explanation.
Maybe I have taken after Aunt Ruth, and she just knew a good shot when she saw it...
