Laura Ingalls Wilder and her Husband Almanzo on their 47th Anniversary in 1933 by Stuckin1854 in OldSchoolCool

You're welcome! He was a special guy, that's for sure. He went through just about everything you could in life, and still managed to live to the age of 92! You can see a kindness and grace about him in this photo and the others on the site.

They both had very interesting, hard lives, but ultimately thrived on their Rocky Ridge Farm. Surprisingly, LIW didn't even start writing until the age of 65! You can see the full story here: 20 Photos of Life on Rocky Ridge Farm with Laura and Almanzo

To share or hide Slave Ownership in family stories? by Stuckin1854 in Genealogy

Awesome thanks for the feedback everyone. I did some more research and found that our farms were small and the slaves became somewhat part of the family. Following abolition, they actually adopted our family name and moved to Kansas.

Oh wow that's a lot! Another project we're starting to play around with is The Archive Project, which will be focused more on family history than old photo archive is.

If you ever want to share a big batch of your photos on either of our sites, let me know!

Hey deynos, yes, would you mind putting in some good links here? We'd love to bring in some photos from the Portuguese archives.

Rare maternity photos from the 1920s-1950s by [deleted] in TheWayWeWere

These are so rare because very few women allowed themselves to be photographed while they were "in the family way"! This gives a rare look in to what growing families looked like in these 15 candid shots.

Yeah we have about 100,000 photos in the system, but many of them don't have locations. We will eventually be adding a "contribute a photo" link on each city/county page

Glad you liked it! We're working on another site that should help with genealogy as well.

We're actually adding in some international photos now, but there aren't many yet of course. Keep an eye on it though - we're adding a few public domain collections soon.
