This is where it all started......

I have loved genealogy ever since I was a young girl.  This picture was in an old photo album that my parents had.  I loved this picture!  It intrigued me.  I have always loved old things.  I learned how to do heirloom sewing so that  I could re-create things like her dress.  And look at her bottle!  Wouldn’t you love to have one like that in your possession?  I do not know this baby’s name, but she helped get me started in my quest for knowing my roots.  The album that her picture is in belonged to my great great grandmother Elizabeth Ellen Ribelin.  She married Cornelius Corwin Taylor, and they lived in Morgan County, Illinois.  There are lots of neat old pictures in there which I will share over time, but I really hope that someday I will learn the name of this little girl.
