Sepia Saturday - High Style Fashion Hat, Julietta Hyman Wills

Julietta Hyman Wills
Sepia Saturday 164:  I decided to show off a picture of  a distant relative, Julietta, and her "lovely" and hopefully one of a kind hat.

It's great that you lovely photo was named - so many of the old ones are not.

This looks like a tintype - is it? There was a huge variety of hats around in the latter half of the 19th Century, and a good portion of them looked as if they had a bird nesting on top.

Surname Saturday

I decided to do a little research on the meaning of the name Skibbe.  The only information I have located so far is: 
North German: from Sorbianskiba‘slice of bread’, perhaps a nickname for a poor person.


I found this information athttp://www.answers.com/topic/skibbe.  Please let me know if anyone else can come up with anything.  My Skibbe's do hide - maybe because no one knows the origin of their surname.

Mesa Family History Expo - January 18-19th Tips for the best expo experience!

Image
The Family History Expo in Mesa will open this Friday the 18th and continue through January the 19th.  Here a few tips to make the most of your expo experience:

1.  Bring address labels!  It will speed up entering drawings and your name and address will be easy to read.  Just add your email to the form and you are good to go.

2.  Pack a snack and a water bottle.  The vendor lines get long at times and that snack may just save you from starving.

3.  Be patient!

4.  Review your book titles and keep track of the books you are on the look out for.  I have purchased the same book three times over the last few years until I started keeping my library on Librarything.  Now when I go to a conference I can bring a printout or access it on my phone.

5.  Bring business cards/calling cards with your email and or blog address for new genealogy friends to stay in touch after the expo.

6.  Dress in layers - some rooms are warm and some are cool - be prepared.
