This is to embarrass my parents.
I love you Mom and Dad!
Here they are at prom – yes they were high school sweethearts. I came along 5 years later.
This is my mom (on the right) and her cousin Chris. They were flower girls together. I think that she still has this dress (or at least the headband) in her old cedar chest.
I think that this picture might be my Grandpa Don’s brother, Floyd. He was born in 1910. Does this look like it could have been taken in the early 30′s? He definitely looks a lot like my grandpa!

To my eye, the photo is definitely post 1930 – the main indicator is the high waisted pants worn by the woman in the photo. You would not see women wearing pants in the 1920s – even unusual for the 1930s but not so after 1935.
Nice picture, yes it does look as if it was tkane in that ers in the 30′s
Midnight.
That is when we’re leaving Alaska for good and starting on our 6,000 mile journey to Savannah.
I have a lot of things planned for the trip. National Parks. Museums. Visiting family. And of course Genealogy.
The first few thousand miles of my trip are going to be genealogy-free, because I don’t have any ancestors that lived in the Yukon Territory, Alberta, Montana, or Wyoming.
But after our visit to family in Kansas, it starts.
I just bought a wireless card for my laptop. so I will be able to get onto the internet and blog as we drive.
I am really looking forward to this adventure!!!!
what an exciting trip!
I decided to play along with Saturday Night Genealogy Fun at Randy Seaver’s blog, GeneaMusings.
If you want to party with the SNGF gang this week, then here is your task:
1) List your matrilineal line – your mother, her mother, etc. back to the first identifiable mother. Note: this line is how your mitochondrial DNA was passed to you!
2) Tell us if you have had your mitochondrial DNA tested, and if so, which Haplogroup you
So, here it goes:
1. Me
2. My mom, Donelle.
3. My grandmother, Eleanore Sonia Bergman (1922-1998)
4. My great-grandmother, Charlotta Eugenia Viktoria Klarstrom.(1888-1960)
5. My great-great grandmother, Christina Elisabeth Bennberg. (1845-1919)
6. My great-great-great grandmother, Christina Olsdatter. (born in 1816)
I have not had my DNA tested yet. I swiped some from my brother though.
I guess there is another thing I need to get done!
What a great pic! Love the hair!
Just think, if you have kids, one day they can post your prom pic on their blog
Ah the height of fashion. The staircase to nowhere is the best. Thanks for sharing.
That is NOT embarrassing. It is absolutely precious! Thanks for posting it!
*lol* You gotta love it!!
