My Love of Old Photos - I love old photos, especially when they are of my family.   I know that I've said it before.  In reading some of the old letters that I have, I found a wonderful comment about photos made by my great, great uncle.

O'Brien's in Ireland to Australia and onto California - Part 6 - At this point in the game, I hope for more information about Kate O'Brien's family in Australia.  I certainly long to know her full origins in Ireland.  What I have is a good start.  Photos are always one of my favorite parts of genealogy.

Even those children who had lost their parents, somehow managed to hang on to their grandmothers.
