I have many pictures in my collection of people that are not identified. This one is interesting because of the clothes. If I had to guess it is from my maternal grandmother's side of the Mast family. She came from Mennonite and Church of the Brethren ancestry. Any thoughts?
My blog features articles on a wide range of historical topics and includes personal stories, historical documents, and photographs. My blog includes resources for family history enthusiasts, such as examples of historical resources and articles about researching family history. I aim to provide a unique and personal perspective on my ancestor’s past, and to help my readers understand the experiences and struggles of the ancestors who came before us.
What a fabulous photo to have in the family collection. Their clothing does have the look of a conservative religious community. I can only see a bit of the photo edge and you didn't mention the size of the picture, but if I had to guess, it looks like maybe a 1920s-1930s style photograph.
ReplyDeleteWere the children dressed to represent a previous time-period, perhaps for a play or a family event? I think all of the clothing that we can see (except maybe the headgear) looks too large for them. Could it have been for Halloween? I ask because of the harvested field they're standing in.
ReplyDeleteWhat cute children. The older girl looks so happy!
