Family Photos

I have started with my own grandparents and worked "back" from there. Some of the photos did not scan as well as I would have liked, as they are getting faded with age. I appologize for the quality, but I've tried as best as I can to correct it in all cases. I am currently expanding the collection. My grandmothers both left me all of their photographs- my mother's mother had a smaller collection, but was very good about labelling. My father's mother, however, had a massive collection, but did not label anything. Thus, I have a trunk (litterally, she stored all of the photos in an antique steamer trunk) full of pictures of people that may or may not be related to me that I can't label and post here. Unfortunatly, my grandmother is no loger around to tell me who they are, so I am at a bit of a loss. There are several photos from Minnesota and Virginia, or I at least guess that's where these people were from based on the photographic studio's logos. I may post them, just to see if anyone else may know who they are. However, I will probably NEVER find the time to do that, so for now I will just post the photos of immidiate relatives who I recognise.

Professionally taken portraits are marked with a Also, some of the dates are marked as "unknown". Somebody knows these- it's just not me ;-). If anyone knows this info, let me know so I can update the page.

My father's family

Anna with (from right) oldest brother Lester, youngest brother Bernard, and friend Edna. She explained that she and Edna had taken off with the boys' car, which is why they are dusty.

Anna as a teenager at the summer house.

With her family at the summer house. From right- John Wright (father) Florence Wright (mother) Bernard and Anna. The child in back is one of the older brothers' children, I am not sure what her name is or even who's child she is.

Anna in the woods The quality of this picture is very poor because she gave it to Wyman while they were dating, and he carried it with him in his wallet for over 50 years.

At her 80th birthday with her brothers Allen (second youngest) , Bernard (youngest) and Austin (next youngest to Anna- Anna was the third child. An older sister, Lois, died as a toddler from complications from spina bifida) Lester, the oldest brother, had died a few years before the picture was taken.

Anna's Brothers

I appologise in advance if I have accidentally labeled a photo of Austin as Allen or vice versa- these two look so much alike, they could be twins. I have tried my best, and I am pretty sure I have gotten everyone Wright (er, right, harhar). If I haven't, just let me know.

Lester as a toddler Yes, they actually used to dress little boys like this. All he needs is a big lollypop and a hoop with a stick.

Lester at 16 .

Lester with two friends Lester seems to have developed quite a sense of style and self confidence, despite what was inflicted on him as a child.
