We're celebrating the 10th Edition of the Carnival of Images with the word prompt: Costume
John and Mary (DeSpain) Whitmore center-front
Children behind L-R: Cordelia, John, Mariah, Mary and William
This photo was most likely taken before 1904 because the youngest boy, William, died in January of that year. I have chosen this photo for the Carnival because of the elaborate dresses the ladies are wearing.

A Genealogy Affiliation
I've been doing a little housecleaning on iPentimento lately, clearing out affiliate ads that were not working for me. Today I added a new one that I hope you'll find interesting if you are a genealogy enthusiast.
For the last two years I have been a subscriber to Family Tree Magazine and I just love it. Every article is helpful and well researched, as well as interesting to the seasoned or new family researcher
It isn't so much that I want to make money as an affiliate for the magazine as much as it is that I believe they are one of the best genealogy teaching mags around.
Helpful Genealogy CD's
One of the things I really like about the magazine is that they make all of their past issues available on CD, as well as their State Research Guides for all 50 states plus Washington, DC and Puerto Rico.
In the magazine the research guides are included in each issue as a pullout to keep in your records, but if you are just now subscribing they make sure you aren't left out by making all of the guides available in CD format.
Worldwide Genealogy
This isn't a magazine just for United States genealogists, but a resource for everyone worldwide.

Chuck Brodish recently contacted me about a 480 foot Douglas fir that was reportedly felled in the 1930's in or near the Black Hills here in Washington. I wasn't able to find the exact tree he was speaking of, but I do have a book I inherited from my parents entitled "This was Logging" by Ralph W. Andrews.
In looking at the photos in the book I saw references to many large fir trees (among other species cited) but not the particular tree he was asking about. If anyone else is interested in the old logging practices here in the Pacific Northwest this book is a great resource.
