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.

Lost Lady
A photograph of this beautiful lady was left behind at the Oakland FamilySearch Library in March 2015. I've tried to find her home for almost two years by talking to people in the area, but no one so far has claimed her. I even tried looking for her through Tineye to see if she appeared on a blog or family history page, or perhaps was a celebrity. I'm hoping that by posting her image someone in her family will see her and let me know where she belongs.

Maybe Juanita Moore? I sent you an email with my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lead and the info. I'll check it out.
DeleteThanks very much for the lead. After comparing the photo on Wikipedia and the photo I have, I think you're right. The nose, cheekbones, chin, even the slight gap between her two upper incisors look the same. Now I'll work on contacting the possible relative you found.
DeleteThe lost lady has found her home! The photo is indeed of Juanita Moore (thank you, Alan!), and her nephew is the person who left her at the library almost two years ago. I was able to return the photo to him today.
