This is one of the most precious family photographs I have:
This photograph was taken in late 1919 or early 1920, and shows my mother, Betty Virginia Carringer (born 30 July 1919) in the arms of her grandfather, Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946). It was probably taken at the Lyle and Emily Carringer home at 2052 Harrison Street in San Diego.
Betty doesn't look too happy here - in fact, I don't think that I have any pictures of her as a smiling baby.
Austin had to wait 76 years to have a grandchild, and Betty was his only one. He looks very proud and content in this picture. Note the two-hand grip on the baby! I often wonder if Betty played with his bushy moustache and his glasses when she was a toddler.
This photograph is a part of my family history. I used the MyHeritage Photo tools to enhance and colorize a black and white photograph.
