     Amy Johnson Crow has a 52 Ancestors Week blog challenge which I have decided to give a try for the second year. 

     The prompt for week # 2 (January 8-14) is Favorite Photo.

     I have blogs under my name on Flipside; however, most are of physical things that have been important to me throughout my life......not many photos.  I have posted numerous photos of my ancestors with their blog.  I decided to take this opportunity to post a few of my favorite photos of me.  😇

     I'm not sure what the occasion of these pictures was; however, there are printed photographs and my father, George VanGilder Hughes, also took motion pictures of this day.  I can guess that it was probably my christening which occurred on October 12, 1947 at five months eleven days.                             .

     There is a blog on Flipside about the outfit pictured and when I wrote it I believed it was my baptism dress.  I also noted that the entire dress, including the booties was something my Mother saved and I still have it.

     My Dad did take generation photographs.  The Hughes Women:  my paternal great grandmother, Elizabeth Ferdinande Olesen Hughes; my paternal grandmother, Sarah Margaret VanGilder Hughes and myself, Linda Lee Hughes.  My maternal grandmother, Martha Marie Frederick Stark is also pictured.  

     Dad must have passed his camera off to one of the ladies for this shot.  My father, George VanGilder Hughes; my paternal great grandmother, Elizabeth Ferdinande Olesen Hughes; my paternal grandfather, George Henry Hughes and myself, Linda Lee Hughes.  

     Here I am sitting in Mom's lap, all dolled up. 😊

     And yes, I did have all that dark hair from day one.  😁

There are numerous blogs on Flipside about all these family members.
