Lora May Tinsley was my grandmother. The album came to me after my mother’s death and contains several tintypes and very fragile old paper photos. The presentation information was behind the photo above on the back cover.. I wonder if it’s a photo of Lora. The first photo in the album, a tintype, had a handwritten slip of paper behind it identifying it as a picture of Daisy, Lora’s mother. I’ll have to guess who the others might be.

Wonderful heritage type page! So interesting to see and read about people from our past, and to have some of their things is amazing! This soft peach layout really makes your photos stand out too. Great job!

You're very fortunate to have such a fantastic treasure and memories! I wish our family had a treasure like yours that could have been passed down to family members. A lot of our family photographs and albums burned up in my grandparents garage many years ago. The family really wishes those photos were still around. We have been slowly putting an album back together from pictures that were given to distant family and friends of the family. TFS
