Genealogy is like a jigsaw puzzle, but you don't have the box top, so you don't know what the picture is supposed to look like. As you start putting the puzzle together, you realize some pieces are missing, and eventually you figure out that some of the pieces you started with don't actually belong to this puzzle. I'll help you discover the right pieces for your puzzle and assemble them into a picture of your family.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun: A Baby or Small Child Photograph
I wish I knew where my photo is for this week's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun with Randy Seaver!
Here is your assignment, if you choose to play along (cue the Mission: Impossible! music):
(1) Do you have baby or small child photographs of yourself or your parents? Please share one of them.
(2) Share it in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or on Facebook. Be sure to leave a comment with a link to your blog post on this post.
I know there is a photo of me at about three months, because I've seen it. My grandmother submitted photos of me and, the next year, of my brother to a newspaper, and they were published. I think it was the Miami Herald, but I'm not 100% sure of that. I always wondered why there wasn't a photograph of my sister, but maybe my grandparents had moved from Florida to Las Vegas by then.
Anyway, I have a copy of the newspaper clipping of my photo, but I don't know where it is. So I'm sharing ths one of my brother, Mark:
It's from July 1963, and he was born in April. Isn't he adorable?
I do have a photo of my mother, Myra Meckler, when she was only a few months old:
This is from early 1941. The woman holding her is my grandfather's youngest sister, Elsie Meckler.
