My great grandfather, James, in his dining room, January of 1985 in Maryland.
He passed later that same year in November from acute pneumonia at the age of 62.

I got death threats and a video about "how to tie a n00se" sent to me withing the span of a week. I'm tired boss.
He also turned 86 today! He's doing so well and it's amazing he has these photos in mint condition. He even told me about the wild stuff him and his buddies would get up to lol!
She's such a sweet girl. She was originally a stray but now she lives almost full time in their nice garage.
She was only 33. She left behind a husband and a 12 year old son.
She was my 3rd great grandmother. Note that her birth was actually in 1862, not 1852 as the certificate said.
I love her.
Aunt Sissy was the best and I loved to hear stories about our family from her! I learned that her parents really were quite the characters!
They were both immigrants from Austia-Hungary and poor Zsuzsánna was married off because her mother Maria was widowed with many kids.
My great grandma Lucy loved genealogy, and at some point did an Ancestry DNA test. I found out when my results came back that she did one! She was born and raised in Southern Maryland and her mother had an Irish maiden name.
My great grandma Emily was born in Ohio. She passed away over 7 years ago but she had uploaded a test before that which I saw when I compared matches! Both of her parents were immigrants. Her father Gyuro (George) was born in Kuzma, Austria (I think it's now Kuzma, Slovenia) and her mother Zsuzsánna (Susanna) was born in Örmező, Austria-Hungary (now Strážske, Slovakia). Interestingly Susanna's mother Maria was born in the region on Galicia in what is now Ukraine.
Both of my maternal great granmothers did an Ancestry DNA test, I'll probably post the other comparison with the other one!
Why was I cursed with such height.
This photo is one of my favorites!
Mária (later known as Mary) was born in Galicia and immigrated to the US in 1901 with her 3 young daughters ( the youngest was my 2nd great grandmother). Only 8 years later she was widowed. She had another son, Andrew, out of wedlock but married two years after his birth and had a daughter named Pauline. She died in 1939 from uremia.
John was a coal miner like his brothers. He survived a cave-in that killed some of his coworkers. He developed blacklung and died in 1972.
