The Dolls We Grew Up With

All of these photographs are of women in my husband’s family. I have become the “unofficial” record keeper or family historian, so to speak, for those people who are closest in relationship to me either by law or blood kinship. I thought some of my family would enjoy seeing these little tots. There are three generations of women folk here: their lives together span a little over one hundred years.
