[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 417785, member: 15805"] Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand.................... No 10. [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography%203/Old%20Family%20Negative%20Wet%20Print%20Project/OldNegs12.jpg[/IMG] About the closest I'll see to their wedding photo, if this isn't it. The white spots are reflections of the light. Their marriage was supposed to be a secret, as my grandmother was still in school, even though she was 19. She had to work so much to help support the family she missed a few years. So the minister was sworn to secrecy. Problem was, his [I]wife [/I]wasn't. Next morning, she spilled the beans to my great-grandfather. Since married girls didn't attend school, my grandmother had to drop out. I have 1 Jan 1926 as their wedding day. But a trip to the courthouse last Friday has it a 31 Dec 1925. Maybe they said 1 Jan 'coz "That's when Father found out."! Anyhoo... that's the ten I chose. I originally selected 42, and it was damned hard to narrow it down to these precious few. Tomorrow, I go album shopping so I can get them all packaged up and ready to send out to dad & his siblings.
