It seemed right to start off the New Year off with a photograph of the person this blog is named after. She was born about 1839 in Alabama and died 22 June 1917 in Montgomery, Alabama.

What a wonderful photo, it certainly is a treasure.
Thank you for visiting and leaving a comment on my Sepia Saturday post. You asked if there was any possibility of Annie, my great grandmother, having Maori blood but there is no chance at all. Her father is from America and her mother from England. My son would love Annie's dark blood to be Maori but can prove that it isn't. Just wish I could prove what it is 😉
My branch of the family had a photograph of Eliza's husband, Dock Allen for several generations but it wasn't until I connected with a cousin from a different branch that I found there was a matching one of Eliza. It was wonderful to get it.
oh well, I did see that part but I wondered if you had found them in England and the US. Good luck with finding out what is what eventually. The joy is in the search but it's sure fun to find out!
