I missed #ancestryhour yesterday as I was busy breaking a wall I've had for months. Thanks to a generous researcher who went through 700+ pages of census to help me find a family, I have now been able to put names on the people in these family pictures.

Here they are: geni.com/people/L%C3%A9…

Better yet, I now know that Léonie Baranger was my great-grand-mother's (who appears on the first picture) cousin (1C1R actually), hence the reason I have this pic.

Next step: find descendants to send them the pictures!

And, for the fun, colorized versions of the pics using #Deoldify

Welcome to the 20s, in color :-)
