Poultry school. #Whitecloud, #Newaygo Co., #Michigan. August 1925. #AncestorPhoto

One of my hobbies for years has been #genealogy. I saw someone post their earliest #AncestorPhoto and got to thinking which of mine was oldest.

I believe it’s this one of John Anderson Berg in his Norwegian Military Uniform. I don’t know the exact year, but he was born in Reppe, Trondheim, Norway in 1850 and appears to be in his 20s.

@ChiefGenealogist My earliest photo of a direct ancestor is my Great Grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Kieft (middle front with crossed arms) in her first grade photo in Swansea, Wales in about 1885. #genealogy #ancestorphoto #Swansea #Wales

My earliest #AncestorPhoto is my paternal 4th great grandfather Robert Leaman (1782-1861) of Hillsborough, New Brunswick #Canada
