Old Pictures

I am taking a genealogy class through the North San Diego County Genealogical Society.  As with anything, the more you learn, the more you realize what you don't know.  I am enjoying it so far and I love to do the research.

Pedro Avila about 17    
James Avila about 17
We were in Santa Barbara a couple of weeks ago and I was able to look the information that my brother-in-law had and copied into my files.  The picture to the right is a picture of my father in law when he was about 17.  The one to the left is my son, James at about 17.  Almost like looking at the same person.  While looking for the picture of James, I found the pictures below.  I have no idea where I got the one of my mother, but I am thrilled that I have it.




Patti Lyn - 6 mos

Elizabeth A Lenig, 7 mos
 The one on the right is my Mother at about 7 months.  The one on the left is me at about 6 mos.  I don't think that we look alike.  Mom looks so serious.  The picture below is me kissing my cousin, Donny Jr.  This was taken Thanksgiving 1953.  That would have made me 2 years old.  Donny was a year younger than me.

  1. The old pictures are cool. It would be interesting to put the pictures of each of us at 6 months to see the family resembence.
