after the goldrush............................
More uploads from my family's history here.............more info shortly.........Yesterday,.I met My Brother Zyg with Cathy & my Sister-in-Law Jean at The Bear in Todmorden.We had Lunch &; he gave me several Newspaper cuttings relating to Our Family's presence in North America. (not read them yet!) +137 more photos to share including the one above..........It's kind of tricky sharing & scanning these photos as they are both small & stuck in a photo album.I dont want to damage anything so i will take my time to copy them safely........
Here are the first batch I've uploaded.Something I never knew, My Aunty Brenda was born in Canada. My Grandfather moved there in the early 1900's "looking for gold" :"goldpanning" Whatever........I will give you more detail when i understand it more myself.I have a postcard from Canada.Later my Grandfather must have moved South, hence these photo from Saranac Lake in upstate New York. .
I have been sharing these photos on facebook with Historic Saranac Lake
Turns Out It's Not Connected with Robert Louis Stevenson.But Interesting,None The Less (just mere coincidence a Family member returned?)......
.Sorry I have been AWOL from blogging .will visit you soon!Check Out Alan's Sepia Saturday for other romps !

I know it can be hard to scan old photos in albums... but I wonder if you could possibly make a higher resolution scan? These are beautiful photos, but they become very pixelated when I try to enlarge them to see details.
Thanks for sharing them!

I Only have a bog-standard ARGOS scanner! What I really need to do is copy them with a better standard machine.Leave it with me:Will Do! Also (*blushes*) I edited them & the softwear might have spoiled them a little?
I englarged the pic and I am not sure if it is just me but the baby being held looks more like a doll than a real baby. And I am amazed that they all fit on the giant sled. Really cool.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless.

The photo of the four horsed pulling a float with a horse on it is very remarkable. I have never seen of such a thing but it is a beautiful shot.
This is beyond fascinating.
But how weird is the 'After The Goldrush' pic?
Clue: very.
I'm not surprised you are descended from theatrical types :0)
You might ask a museum worker, for preservation advice.
Definitely getting motivated to get digging out the memorabilia here.
Sorry I'm not closer so I could scan them 4 U! ; (
Cheers!
