Let me introduce you to my great-great-great grandmother on my father's side, a woman who was born shortly before Emancipation. Her name was Eliza (or Elisa). She was born around 1860 and lived in Texas. I could hardly believe it when my Aunt Loretta (my father's side) showed this photo to me. My Aunt Henny (my mother's side) has been working on a family genealogy for years. Her extensive research has also shored up some wonderful photographs like this one of my great-great grandparents. Let me introduce you to Dorthea Andersen and Anton Soerensen Floe both born in Denmark in 1860.
I am sure they could not have imagined that their photos would be in the same Family Album. But that's the story. That's the Mixed experience.
