I really want descendants to recognize our ancestors, so the book is filled with captioned photos, not just names but dates and places where known. Plus maps showing where our immigrant ancestors were born and where they lived in the Big Apple.
Henrietta (nicknamed "Yetta"), my Dad's mother, is the lovely young lady wearing a light dress in the back row.
Just a couple of years after this photo was taken, Yetta married Isaac Burk on June 10, 1906, in New York City.
For this latest photo book, I created a brightly-colored word cloud with given names and surnames in the Mahler and Burk families. It's positioned in the center of the back cover. The word cloud site I use is free.
Yetta and Isaac, you're remembered with great affection on the upcoming 117th anniversary of your June wedding.
My next photo book will be about my maternal grandparents. I'll be blogging about that soon!
How are you creating your photo book? What are you using? Hope to see snipetts of the finished product. :) I LOVE the word cloud!!! How did you create it? :)
ReplyDeleteHi Diane, I've been using https://www.wordclouds.com/ to generate lovely word images like this heart. I'll be posting snippets of my latest photo book very soon. TY for reading and commenting.
