The Mitchell Family, circa 1870s
I have coloured and re-coloured this family portrait several times, as I learned new techniques to apply to my projects. This photo of my Scottish ancestors was taken in Inverness, Scotland in the 1870s

Ann Collie (nee Rose), 1828-1917
This photo of my great-great-great-grandmother Ann Rose in the 1850s is the oldest photo in my collection. Several photos of Ann show her reading - perhaps an inclination towards books and reading is in my DNA?
