Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- A Favorite Photo of Your Father

  It's Saturday Night - 

Time For More Genealogy Fun! 


Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:


A)  Do you have a favorite photograph of your father?

B)  Please share it in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook post.

Here's mine:

One of my favorite photographs of my father is this one from Christmas 1954:

This was taken at my mother's parents home on Point Loma.  From the left:

*  My dad, Frederick W. Seaver (1911-1983) (so age 43) married in 1942 in San Diego.
*  My brother Stan, born 1946 in San Diego (so age 8).
*  Me, born 1943 in National City, California (so age 11).
*  My mother, Betty Virginia (Carringer) Seaver (1919-2002), (so age 35) born in San Diego.

This photo was originally black and white, and I used the MyHeritage photo tools to colorize it.  I don't think that I had red pants.

Here is the black and white photo:

=======================================================

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to   https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link). It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
