More unknown pictures

This is an example of some of the new pictures I have added to the Photo Album of unknown pictures.

These pictures were important to some family many years ago and I would like to give pictures back to them.  Some of the pictures are 80-100 years old.  Please contact me with any questions or comments at ash689@aol.com

Please take a look at the photos posted on this website. Most are from Gallia county, Ohio where my Gooch families lived. It would be wonderful if some one could recognize any one at all here. If so, please, please contact me. Thanks, Karen

To walk on the land where my grandmother grew up

For a long time I have wanted to go back to southern Ohio and walk on the land where my grandmother lived.  To see the trees that were old even when she was young.  Are the wild flowers related to the ones she might have picked in 1900?  What will it feel like to walk up and down the gentle hills on the old family farm that is no longer producing crops?  There are some ancient out-buildings barely standing, yet hiding some old jars in the cobwebby corners.  Did she play hide-and-seek with her sisters?  or run after her borther's old hound dog?
