Throwback Thursday – Ancestor Pictures

Posted on August 18, 2022 by vanbraman

Tonight I was looking through some old pictures and found two ancestor pictures that I have not shared before.

I decided that I would share them tonight. I am still a bit time-lagged as I am still virtually teaching a course in Germany, so this will be a short post.

Jacob Yoder, Mattie Miller, Great Grandparents, ancestors, amish, mennoniteThe first is a picture of my Great Grandparents Jacob Yoder and Mattie Miller. They both grew up as Amish, but later were Mennonites.

I have always liked this picture, especially Jacob’s hair. I also really like Mattie’s smile.

ancestors, braman, flora della, 2G GrandmaThis picture is of my 2nd Great Grandmother Flora Della Beck Braman. The file information for the picture just said Grandma Braman. I knew it was not my Dad’s Grandma as she was only about 30 years old when she passed away. So, it had to be my Grandfather’s Grandma who lived into her 90’s.

Wednesday Image Search – Mus

Posted on August 17, 2022 by vanbraman

Welcome to another Wednesday Image Search where I pick a string of letters or a word and share some of the images I find in an image search of the blog.

After searching for ‘yea’ last week I will search for ‘mus’ this week.

What images will I find?

Wedding humor, ring bearer, mustache, combThe first image is of from a wedding 48 years ago. I was the ring bearer and the brother of the bride is coming my mustache. Happy Anniversary Dan and Linda.

Los Colinas Mustangs, Irving, Texas, Memories, SculpturesThe  second image shows the Mustangs of Los Colinas in Irving, Texas. This brings back many memories from my early college years.

Orsamus Braman, Tombstone, Cemetery, Rome Wisconsin, GenealogyHere is the gravestone of my 4th Great Grandfather Orsamus Braman. He was buried near Rome, Wisconsin. I found the gravestone with some other damaged stones in the cemetery.

london, 2000, first trip to london, old digital picturesHere is the edifice over the entrance to the British Museum. I took this during my first trip to London several decades ago.

ketchup and mustard, corn dog, hot dogFinally we end with a corn dog that was dipped in ketchup and mustard.

I could have added a lot of museum pictures, but decided to only use one. There were many other good ‘mus’ words.

Which is your favorite of these ‘mus’ pictures?

What should I search for next?  I need to find a new idea for a series. Any suggestions?
