A cousin kindly sent me some more family photographs. (Thank you D.W.!)
A snow scene caught my eye. My aunt had given me a similar picture a few years ago of a couple standing in snow, the woman holding a snowball.
These people are still unidentified. Based on who inherited these pictures, they come from the Walling and Winterton branches of the family tree. They lived in the Keyport area of Monmouth County, New Jersey.
In an earlier article, I compared an identified photograph from a cousin to unidentified photographs I received years ago and determined that they are from the Walling and Winterton branches.
The pictures and heirlooms handed down through the generations are analogous to DNA. Each child receives different bits of the parent's DNA and passes the different parts down to their descendants.
My branch received some tools from David Uhl (1834-1884), while a cousin received other tools, all marked with UHL to signify the common origin.
Growing family trees from leaves and branches. Finding lost relatives. Solving family mysteries. Concentrating in New Jersey and New York.
