Carolyn at Crop Chic has discovered she is the “historical twin” of her maternal grandmother and did a beautiful Then & Now layout sharing her grandmother’s photo alongside hers. She really does look like her =:) What a great idea Carolyn! I am now on a quest to find my historical twin.

In my mind I look like my mom’s paternal grandmother who came to America via steerage despite the fact that her husband-to-be had sent her money to come first class. Since she knew she wasn’t going to marry him when she arrived, she saved the money on the fare to pay him back. She did and married someone else (my great-great grandfather). Now that’s gutsy and honorable. Even if I don’t look like her, I hope I am like her.
