I don't know who added the Casta's paintings but they are wonderful! A real eye opener to the dress and living standards of the day.

I've added a photo to my album (Linda Castanon-Long) of my grandmothers cousin, Juan Jose Mendez in a death photo drawn abt 1923 in Tamazula Jalisco Mexico. It gives an idea of the burial customs and dress of the day at that time.

Genealogy is so much more than just names and dates, they had lives, loves, loss's and dreams we can only imagine.. I look at this photo and see a young woman widowed with many children to raise on her own. Photo's and articles help to keep me connected to the human side of genealogy so I enjoy sharing what I can.
