Blast from the 'Distant' Past

My Grandmother with her parents, my Great-Grandparents.  With the hundredth anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, I just thought this was neat because this picture was taken 2 years before the Titanic sunk!
I was named after Lawrence Burch, Lawrence being my middle name, so I'm kinda partial to him.  He was a Railroad Engineer, and I have his watch and his employee boarding pass which allowed him to ride the train anywhere and anytime he wanted.
And I have to think of Erin and Jillian.  This is a picture of their Great-Great-Great Grandparents with their Great-Great Grandmother!




And, we can go back one more generation.  This is a picture of Lucinda Green Burch, Lawrence's wife, in the lower right hand corner.  She is sitting next to her mother, with her two sister's.
So, the lady on the lower left is Erin and Jillian's Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother!  Do you see any resemblance? 
I just thought I'd post a little something different.  I found out some of my readers don't even bother to read my golf posts!

To have pics of all those "Greats" is wonderful. You wonder about all the stories, what life was like back then. I don't see any resemblance to anyone else - but how nice to have part of Erin and Jill's heritage pictured like this!

P.S. I read your golf posts too, Bad Bob. I just don't know what to say about them.(A first, I know).
