Almost Time for New Years Resolutions [Again!]

The final days of 2013 are flying by! The holiday hustle and bustle and Christmas fervor assist the clock in its race to the finish! Where do all the hours in the days go??!  Who knows? I've spent the last 5 hours eating spinach dip and reading blogs... so that's where today has gone anyway.....

With the end of the year comes the all important cliché of "New Years Resolutions"!!!! Don't get me wrong, I make them every year! In fact, I blogged about my 'Genealogy Resolutions' at the beginning of this year.... and am embarrassed to say, I didn't do a very good job meeting them... once I reread that post from 11 months ago....

So... I have a little over a week left of 2013... and I'm hoping I can enjoy some reflection on the past year and all the things I did (or didn't) do!  I'll also be crafting some realistic 'resolutions' for the coming year... things I can obtain and do with some level of success. I don't want to be forced to just copy & paste my 2014 resolutions for 2015... I want progress!

Organizations must prevail... and brick walls will hopefully come crashing down!

Mystery Photo... Freeborn Co, MN?

Mystery Photo Sunday

I have such a large photo archive... of both relative & non-relative photos... that I've decided to do a weekly spotlight of one the 'mystery photos' in my possession.


The 3 gentleman are probably connected to families in Freeborn County, Minnesota or Wisconsin... and more specifically the Grinolds, Schoonover or Nelson families.

They came from an old album that belonged to this family. I would love to know the identities of these gentleman and how, if at all, they connect to the above families!

Mystery Photo Sunday... Winnebago, Minnesota

I have such a large photo archive... of both relative & non-relative photos... that I've decided to do a weekly spotlight of one the 'mystery photos' in my possession.

See the below 6 photos... that came from the same album, as there are individuals in the group photo who also have a portrait.

From a Winnebago, Minnesota photography studio.... It'd be great to get these cabinet card photos to someone who might appreciate them!
