resembled him a lot. My dad didn't.

I don't look anything like my gr gf, either, and my kids all look like their dad and his family.

Yes, my cousins and I have found a lot of information about him at the National Archives. We were amazed!

I agree with you that he was handsome. I also think that his wife, my great-grandmother, was nice looking.



She died of consumption (tuberculosis) a few years after they were married. He never married again.

Sorry the picture is so huge. I don't know how to make it smaller.
