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.
ReplyDeleteThose 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.
ReplyDeleteThese are all great shots but my favorite is the one of your Dad during World War II. Carver, ABC Wed. Team

ReplyDeleteSo much history and wonderful clothing and mustaches.
Loved seeing all the family from generations ago. My, how times have changed.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have photos that go back so many generations.
ReplyDeleteHello Ann,
ReplyDeleteI 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!!
ReplyDeleteLove Jerome's 'stache. Genealogy is something I'd do in my (non-)free time.

Ann, that's why I had to take the picture too. The rainbow was so vivid, low and close to us.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
