Description
A photo of my Great-grandmother with one of the man that I proved through DNA was her father (a wealthy farmer who got her 15 mother pregnant). He never 'claimed' her, but someone (presumably him) paid for her to be cared for by a local family as a foster child. They look SO alike.

I used "Hear My Voice: Anticipating"
Wow this is amazing, Lynn.. great "peeling of the onion" and detective work to hunt down the ancestry and DNA to prove the relationship. I loved reading your journaling, and love that she wrote his name on her wedding certificate :) So fascinating the stories from way back.. also reading old newspaper articles about family from back then. The two photos father/daughter are definitely spot on ringers.. I can see your Great Grandmother had his eyes nose and mouth.. can't deny that.. yup back then they gave support money on the sly.. amazing .. I love the way you scrapped this too with the wonderful ephemera and and the bows and pinned button.. absolutely fantastic, Lynn! Thank you for sharing and playing along with my MOC challenge!

ETA.. this would then be your Great Great Grandfather!!! Very cool!
 
Wow, they do bear such a strong resemblance. Love the way you have scrapped this. Wonderful detective work beautifully recorded and shared.
 
Be still my heart! You know me and old photos. Great journaling, love the "skeleton in the closet".
