Roots

Pictured here at the left, are my grandmother Kate Solomon Vann, and her brother Ralph. I guess this photograph was  taken around 1895. Allen Espy recently posted two entries on his blog (Major Sensations) about my mother's side of our family -- the Vanns.


Indulge my laziness, please; I really cannot improve on his postings. Read about my grandmother and about “Sam and Kate Plus Nine” on Allen’s blog. On the Sam and Kate entry, you can see my mother,Kate Helen, to my grandmother’s right in the second photo, and second from the left on the back row in the fourth photo.
