RE: Photography: technique versus things that really matter
One of my great-great-grandmothers, in traditional Dutch attire. I wonder how long she would have had to sit still for this.
I have traced my ancestors back to about 1550. Wish I could travel back in time to talk to them, ask questions, tell stories, and ... take pictures!
Always liked the idea of time travel, and I wish I could as well.
I've traced mine to the 15th century on one particular line, that is the furthest I've gotten which is lucky.
My great-great-great grandfather b.1851
Something about your photo in the original post seems really familiar...
Cousin! 8-) Must have been the fashion.
I have the male line to about 1550, the oldest one I found in other lines was born about 1380. Beyond that, there are hardly any records in The Netherlands.
