Compare!

Below, you will find a photo of a sharply dressed gentleman, who is Robert Lord, my Great-great-grandfather.
Now, below this text, is a photo of Elizabeth Lang, and her husband Matthew Cook. Elizabeth Lang is Robert's aunt, but is only 7 years his senior. She was born in about 1846, and Robert was born in 1853.

I think there's quite a resemblance in their facial structure. I guess Robert took after his mother's side, the Lang's, more than the Lord's. I have no photos of John Lord (Robert's father)to compare him to, unfortunately...

89!

This Saturday, my grandmother is turning 89 years old. That means she was born in 1917, for all you math oriented folks out there.

Sue and I should be heading down to the NJ Shore area, to go to lunch with her and other members of my family, so it should be a good time.

In other news, I've been in contact with a 4th cousin once removed on the Lang side. My G3-grandmother, Jane Lang, had a sister named Elizabeth Lang. Elizabeth married a Matthew Cook, and they had a daughter together named Sarah. This woman I'm in contact with is descended from Elizabeth and Sarah. She sent me a photo she has of Elizabeth, who died in 1875. Elizabeth was an aunt to my G2-grandfather, who I do have a photo of, and there is a real family resemblance there. I'll post the photos here soon, for your own review...
