Sepia Saturday: Virgie Bliss and baby...

[dee_burris]

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...

i'm having one of those low brain days where pointing and clicking is fun and mindless, so I took a peek around online in case i could find anything helpful. at the calif birth index, an elizabeth frances bliss was born in alameda county on 8 may 1926, mother's maiden name thorp. there's a calif death record for virginia bliss born 1 dec 1902 in arkansas, died 12 Sep 1974 in sonoma.

looking at 1920, there's a viola v thorp in big bottom, independence, arkansas, daughter of green e and mary e thorp. siblings are brother virgil 16 and sister ruby 14.

i'm about certain this is the same family in 1910, very badly transcribed. (same location, same 3 youngest children).

I hope Virgie and her baby are reunited with their family :-) She looks like a very happy Mum :-) Jo
