Who do you look like?

The above photo is the only baby picture of me that I know about. My Aunt Barbara gave it to me a few years ago. It is probably in the summer after I was born on Nov. 25, 1934. My hair was red.  I'm sitting on the hood of my daddy's car. Aunt Barbara said my parents used to take me for rides in the evenings when it was very hot and humid, so I would fall asleep.


I remember people telling me that I looked like my mother, Ruth, my grandmother, aunt, etc. when I was growing up. Even now people tell me that I look so much like my mother (who died at age 48 in 1963, when I was 29). Recently I came across some old photos of my mother and father and am posting there here.


I love the expression on my mother's face. And her little bare feet. I don't know what she has in her hands. She's probably about 2 here.


I think I probably look more like my daddy who had fat cheeks! I had red hair and neither of my parents did, but there were redheads in my father's family line of Grimes.
I really like the detail work on the dress he is wearing. My grand- mother Wilson was a great seamstress and probably make this lovely outfit. His hair was so black most of his life.


I copied this photo from a cousin Jimmy Blankenship, whose parents Ellie and Ted, lived with my great grandmother when he was young. My dad's name was written on this photo taken about 1915.
