The Joshua and Drusilla Parker family photograph

While doing family research on my Parker family tree, my mothers cousin Barbara Sanders gave me picture pedigree of the family that she'd worked hard to put together. She did an amazing job back in the 80's and early 90's. It was great to see the photos of some of the family, but the photos of many of them were copies and a poor quality.

Thankfully she and her father Harold had collected them for which I was grateful. And I figured that had to be more pictures of the family other there, and that thought sent me off on to an adventure to find good photos of each of the family members. Slowly one my one the photos were discovered, and the hardest to find was of their 5th child France. Once his photograph was discovered in 2011 I was thrilled to share it with his grandchildren that are still living.

Head-shots didn't give me a sense of a complete family so that when I decided to create time period portrait of my own of my Parker family ancestors.  I've seen my photo posted on different sites and I want everyone to know its not an original photo, but instead my own composition of the family. Here's the copy I made for myself with the names of each family member on it, in hopes that other family members like yourself will enjoy it as well.
