The family of Ada and Bill Alcott:
If we start with the little ones in the front, left to right: Carl, William (Bill), Claudia; second row: William Reynolds Alcott, Ada Estelle (Carroll) Alcott, Delores, Lois; back row: Leonard, Jack, Ethel, Thelma (Sis). While our tendency is to label the people in old photos with the comfortable names we knew (Mother and Daddy, or Aunt Sis, for example), for the most part we'll be identifying using formal names -- first, middle, and last -- putting the nickname in parentheses so that younger family members will know who we're talking about. By the way, you may click on most any picture to enlarge it; also with a right-click and Save As, any photo may be saved to your own computer.
Our future posts may not stick to any particular order, but for starters we'll follow the mother line and look at Ada Estelle Carroll. We'll try to be consistent and post daily - it's always good to know there might be something interesting to read on the web while enjoying a nice cup of tea, or whatever. --cds/ck
