Welcome!
Welcome to my genealogy blog where I am putting on pictures that I have acquired of my family. Along with any history that I find on them. If I have met that person and can remember something about them, then I will add that story too!
Some of our family names are: Utterback, McKenzie, Armstrong, Riggs, Ralston, Parker, Maupin, Dilbeck, Leister, Smith, Clough, Bowyer, McPherson, Andrews, Howard and Allen. I will only be putting on those last names up to my fourth generation, as you will see in the tabs. If I get too many last name of a different generation, I might need to put that on also. Example: Dilbecks.
I am glad ya'll came a visiting and hope to see ya back!
Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of Unknown People - #1
Will be starting to add some extra pictures of people I don't know. The 5 pictures shown here are some family members visiting my grandfather and grandmother in El Centro when they were first married.. The pictures on the back say from May 14, 1930. I don't know who the couple is with my grandparents. If Harry and Leona are visiting they might be in San Diego area, as the photo company was there, per the back of the photos. They made have mailed off the film to the Sunnell Photo Company and the pictures would then be in El Centro area. If you could help me out, I would appreciate it. Thanks for coming by my blog!

Forgotten Foto Friday #11
Even though there are names on some of these pictures, I do
not know who they are. So, I thought I would share with you some of my mother’s
classmates at the end of the school year – 1946. She went to Garfield High School
in East Los Angeles . If you have parents or
grandparents around this time period, maybe you might know of these people. If
not, you can see what things looked like then. Isn't it fun to look backwards in time?
Most of the pictures are very light, so I tried to
darken them just a little, you can hopefully see the faces better. Enjoy!
My mom, Emma June Armstrong, on left and a friend of her's. No name was on the back of this picture.
On the back of this picture it says, from left to right: Doug, Bob 3 ( I am thinking that there were 3 different Bob's that they knew, so they numbered them. My Uncle Bob being #1.), Cecil and Tony. I remember my mom and Uncle Bob talking about Cecil.
Iggy Carmack and Patsy.
On the back of this picture I thought it was interesting that is says: "Intelligence of summer 1946." If you know of these people, please comment. Thanks.
Joyce Compton and Ester Clark.

Again on this picture there are no names.

Two More Pictures of Early Utterback's
I know that the first picture is a little light, but I didn't know how to fix it. I did darken it just a little. Again these two pictures come from Gary Messinger, who got them from his mother, June. June is in these pictures. I am enjoying them, as my father is Glenn is the pictures. With June's hair this way, it reminds me of when my Cynthia had her hair cut the same style. If I can find the picture, I will put it on and you can see how she looks like June.
Left to right: William (Billy), Glenn, Geri, Evelyn, Iola, Darlene, Jack (Neile Everett) and June, are Utterback cousins. William, Glenn, Jack and Evelyn are children of William Everett and Rodetta Utterback. Geraldine (Geri), Iola and Darlene are children of 'Sis' and George Swartz. June is the daughter of Ross and Blance Utterback.

Forgotten Foto #10
It has been many years since I have been on. Today I have use of the internet, so I am putting on two photos. I know most of the people except the one named 'Bill'. From what I have found out, Bill was adopted or taken care of by my great-grand parents, as Bill's parents died. I would like to find out what Bill's full name is and if he was married and has children, grandchildren or great-children. This picture is taken in Spokane, Washington around 1930. Anyone out there know of him???? Please leave a comment.
