A Kinsmen is the dictionary is defined as blood relative, mainly male. A Kinsman may also be someone who shares the same nationality or ethnic group.
Here are a few pictures I have of some of my Kinsmen.

I love old family photos -- I am so lucky to have some from both sides of my family, and my husband's too.
Those first three really had the mustache going on, didn't they!!
Oh my, I LOVE these shots! I'm very addicted to genealogy and have been known to lose days and weeks when the bug bites. These are such treasures. Excellent choice for K-week.
These are all great shots but my favorite is the one of your Dad during World War II. Carver, ABC Wed. Team
Love the photos of your kinsmen.
So much history and wonderful clothing and mustaches.
Loved seeing all the family from generations ago. My, how times have changed.
You're lucky to have photos that go back so many generations.
Hello Ann,
I have really enjoyed reading about your Kinsfolk, your father was a handsome chap ...
I too liked the shot of the guy in the fur coat.
I've left a comment on your 'Lest We Forget', blog, in which you may be interested!
Best wishes,

Great take on K and wonderful family pictures, how lucky you are to have those treasures!!
Love Jerome's 'stache. Genealogy is something I'd do in my (non-)free time.
I love genealogy and just met a distant cousin last night!
These pictures are great, Ann!

Ann, that's why I had to take the picture too. The rainbow was so vivid, low and close to us.
I had a difficult time trying to take the picture. Too many cars, poles and stuff no matter where we went..finally just snapped away anyhoo.....
You have a rich history. Yr Dad, on the radio?
sis I love the fur coat too! of course the picture of Dad is one of my favorite.
lv U!!!
These are so wonderful! You are so blessed to have them all. I love that fur coat too! People were not hung up on things like they are today! Such nice memories of your dad and grandparents too! Hugs, Anne
That's a clever one for K! Glad you still have these photos - what treasures. Love that fur coat, too! Thanks for visiting my K.
