Blog Carnivals and Genea-Blogger Games

Shades of the Departed has published the 4th Edition of Smile for the Camera.  There’s an amazing number of participants in this edition, forty total.  The topic was “My Favorite Photograph”.  Of course, I was thinking “my favorite genealogy related photograph” but that just confirms that I have a one track mind.

My submission, Dating an Old Family Photograph - Case Study, was actually written just a couple of days before the topic for the 4th Edition of this blog carnival was announced.  But it truly is the one photograph that I would not part with.  Being over one hundred years old and an original, it is irreplaceable.  Luckily, it has been properly scanned and tagged into my computer database, so it will live on indefintely in digital form.

I suspect that the reason there was such a huge response to this carnival is that there is a certain requirement to fulfill in the Genea-Blogger Games being held among the Facebook Genea-Blogger Group members.

As of today, I have completed the second and fourth requirements in event number 4: Write, Write, Write! My brief biographical sketch of an ancestor, John and Zilpha Hollingsworth of Fayette Co., Alabama, was posted yesterday.
