This is the Face of Genealogy

In his post this morning, "The Face of Genealogy," Thomas MacIntee, of Geneabloggers, suggested we post something today to counteract an unfortunate photo that ran recently on the LA Weekly website.

When I think of the face of genealogy, two photos come to mind.

First, this is the face of genealogy: my grandmother and namesake hiding at her father's elbow.  I'm Jim's Girl; she's Jim's mom. 

And second:  You may not see their faces, but I can't call these the backsides of genealogy, can I?  My research is also for Sweetie and the Bean.  I want the Bean to know where she comes from.

 What's the face of genealogy for you?
