Welcome!


This photo is taken at the Huntington Library Research Center with the archival staff.


 Eventually, my entire photo archive and research documents may become a gift to the Huntington Library.   In the last three years I have, with the help of jonathan gorman from iCreative, produced this website.   


On this website are eight subject areas  that are  the results of my writing about my family, with photos and research of   

the family collection of photographs including daguerrotypes, glass negatives and early photographs dating back to the 1850s. 

This is the result of wading through 11,000 digitized images, and 30 years of research and writing. 


Many of the writings originated from presentations made to organizations and groups.
