Four Generations
All the pictures taken from the trunk in the garage at Steinhauer's have been sorted and cataloged. All the pictures of each of the children have been sent to the parties of which they are the central subject. Each person has been assigned a number. It is chronologically done. Nels and Elissa are 1, Henry T and Julia O are 2 and so forth; the catalog finishes with 52, Thomas Henry Rye. Additional sub groups are Early Rosewood, and Miscellaneous. Each group has been run as a print sheet, which allows Old Trunks to look through the pictures and find all the four generation pictures and take time to fix the pictures, as many of them are still too dark to view as a slide show on the disk which will be made. It is easy to find the four generation pictures when you have everything in order!
It is time to remind the readers of this blog that these pictures, with the exception of "What we look like now" are all pictures taken from the Steinhauer house in October. It is equally important to note that this is only the Nels and Eliza Rye line. In a date not yet set, another CD will be prepared for the Mellem/Anderson/Bloom line. And for those of you who represent Lundberg/Ranum side, that will be done as well.
Some of the Henry T. and Julia Rye children do not have ancestors. Those pictures are being put together in an album. The album will be presented to Shirley Hagen. Shirley has four albums previously done; first in 1986 and again in the summer of 2007. The only group of pictures that will not be sent to Shirley are the early pictures of Lloyd and Ella. Lisa has those, as she had started a marvelous scrap book like album on Ella's birthday.
It is unfortunate there are no individual pictures from the collection of Alice or Murvin. They are, however, represented in group Henry T. Rye portraits. In the beginning the idea was to crop them out of the pictures so that group had a representative picture; that idea has changed, we will have empty categories.
We will share all the four generation pictures available then start a run of group pictures of Henry and Julia followed by Lloyd and Ella. This will get Murvin and Alice into the loop.
