My Daddy


I never saw this mid 1930s picture of my Daddy until tonight. Grandma gave this picture to my sister years ago. She gave me a picture of him too and said she wanted me to have a picture of him when he was little. Grandma was very wise.

My brother's son looks like Daddy. Maybe my brother did too and I just don't remember it. Neither of my kids and none of my grandchildren look like him.

No one knows where this photograph was taken. I am sure it is in Clarksville, but where?

No one remembers where Grandpa and Grandma lived when Daddy was born. We know it was Clarksville, but where?

You lose a lot of history when your people die.

  1. Perhaps it says on his birth certificate..you can request on from the county. Some births you can find online in some states..The Minnesota Historical Society has a birth index..you just need the full name and the mothers maiden name. It is a cute photo..I am glad you have it! :)

  3. I am so happy your Grandma shared those pictures with you and your sister. He sure is a cute little lad. I know you are happy you have it.

    As a genealogist I am constantly amazed that the material that is thrown out (pictures, Bibles, keepsakes etc.) after a person dies. Somebody from the family somewhere will want whatever it is.

  4. Your grandma knows what makes you happy : )
    Someone needs to get busy digging up this information for you. I sure hope it is out there somewhere.

  7. That is for sure the truth...my mom and dad never talked about their life as children hardly at all...and I didn't think to ask. Now, if they had talked I would have loved to listen...mom had one or two stories she told and i always loved hearing them...
