James Hillory Sargent and grandkids

Thanks to my family connection of Kara, who is my father's cousin I have been able to add another photo of my father to my collection.

Daddy (jimmy) is the oldest here, sitting on steps with grandfather. Jeff is standing just above him, with Kara hiding behind, and John next to her. The two in James' lap are Joan and David.
Dad has a younger sister Jody who wasn't in this picture.

The photo was taken late summer of 1944, so dad was about 9 1/2 going on 10 yrs old. Everyone was sitting on the steps of dad's parents , Art and Winnie house in Garden City, MI.

What is special about this photo of my father is , I really never have seen pictures of him at younger ages to know what he looked like. So Kara , keep them coming!

how we all are related in family

Good chart to tell you, but still have some troble with getting the idea of first cousin/once removed or is it just second cousin Well have to try this with actual names of people in the family.

in reference to: A chart for figuring relationships (view on Google Sidewiki)

My Adkins Line starting with Mary Elizabeth

came across this obituary for Mary on ancestry so you need to be online connected with that site to see it Basically it tells of her being daughter of Nelson and Jane Adkins, born in 1859, married Jasper Sargent 1876. They had 7 children , one being my great grandfather James H Sargent.
