The Green Family- On the Move!

The Green Family Photo Album has so many fun pictures on its pages. Today we are highlighting some with people on the move- or, at least, looking like they are on the move.

Above- some great hats! I wonder if this is a real automobile or a posed picture in a studio. Sadly, we don’t know the names of these people.

We haven’t been able to identify any of the above children on a porch swing, or any of the other beautiful little children.

Another page with people we cannot identify, but a day at the lake and on the move in boats looks like fun!

Taking a day off for a picnic, photo, and stroll is another way to get ‘out’ of the city, even if it might be in a local park. That top hat would make a young man look quite dandy strolling down the street. We think the women on the right, both top and bottom, may be Estelle Green.

And we have saved the most perplexing page for last:

Green Family Photo Album- page 36.
Green Family Photo Album- page 36.

We think that the top left picture is, from left, Rose (Brave) Green, Sam Stampfer (her son-in-law, married to daughter Ann Green), and Bess Dorothy Green (Rose’s daughter). Bessie’s daughter had identified the picture of the young woman in glasses as her mother. However, take a look at the photo at the bottom right of the page- the two women sitting almost look like twins! They have different hats so if it was a double exposure, the hats would have needed to be changed. If a double exposure, why only the one woman, not the other? Could they be cousins that look very much like each other? Or were there twins we just didn’t know about in the family? Censuses, family oral history, and other research has never turned up such information. It is one of the most perplexing genealogical puzzles we have ever faced. If anyone out there has any suggestions or knowledge about these people, we would love to hear it!

The above handsome couple- if they were, indeed, a couple, are just two of the many persons in this Green family photo album that we cannot identify. Please let us know if you have any of these same pictures- maybe yours will have names on them! (A genealogist’s dream.)

The picture on the left may have Bess D. Green on the right- what do you think?

Top left picture is Esther Stampfer on the left with long ringlets. The girl with her may be Sarah “Jane” Ledwidge. Would love some help to identify the others on this page.

Not sure why WordPress is calling this 8 of 3 in this series. Another technical glitch to figure out…

Top row, from right: Sam Stampfer, ? Bess Dorothy Green?, Herman Green?

This page thankfully had names written in pencil- Woohoo! They show up much better on the scan than in real life, so try scanning items and looking at them carefully- you might find more than expected.

The bottom right young woman with glasses is Bess Green.

The four pictures on the diagonal are Edith Shepard- wonder how she is related?

Five Family Photos for Friday- A Green Family Photo Album- Part 6

It’s Ladies Day in the Green Family Photo Album series. (OK, one cigar-chomping man too. Not sure who he is or how he got on that page.)

The woman in the white dress on the left above may be Bess Dorothy Green. The pose, seen frequently in the album, may be to show off the Gibson Girl-like very slender waist so fashionable at the time.

This is one of the pages that makes a family historian crazy- are the two women in the close-ups the same woman? We thought they were both Bess Green at different ages, but a picture on the previously-posted page 36 (Five Family Photos for Friday) is either a double exposure or there are two very similar-looking women in the family. (No story about twins in the family that we know of.) As far as one of the pictures being from an earlier date, this album seems to have photos from approximately the same time period, though we can’t know that for sure since we recognize so few of the persons. Anyone with other Green family photos, please let us know if you can help solve this mystery.

Possibly mother and daughter above? But who???

Minnie Weast per name listed in album- unknown how she might be related.

How about these HATS??!!??

The young man in the center two pictures along the sides may be Herman Green.

Bottom row, second from right is Estelle Stampfer with maybe Charlie Ledwidge? (They married in 1904.)

Green Family Photo Album- page 29.
Green Family Photo Album- page 29.

In the picture on the upper right, the man standing on the left is probably Sam Stampfer. The woman sitting in front of him may be Ann Green. (The woman looks a lot like Rose (Brave) Green, her mother, but this is probably the daughter because of her age in ~1901.)

We thought the young woman on the left was Bess Dorothy Green, but because we have noticed another woman who looks very similar, this needs to be confirmed.
