I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth.
So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her.
For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.

Farrah Fawcett
A photo of Farrah Fawcett, actress, showing off her iconic 1970's hairstyle. Everyone tried to copy her hair - no one could. And why? Well, years later the truth came out - this wasn't all Farrah's hair. Her hairdresser used extensions. Although Farrah had thick, curly hair even she needed some help.

Mary Tyer
I have a photograph of Mary TYER which appears to have been taken in the 1870's or 1880's. Mary appears to be in her teens or 20's at the time the photograph was taken. There is no studio or location indicated, however, Mary is identified as "Aunt to Grace PADGHAM". I believe that Grace is Grace Myrtle DIDDY PADGHAM who was the daughter of Mary's sister Harriet TYER.
Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Mary and her family:
Mary Louisa TYER was b. 27 Sept 1857 in Adel, IA to parents John TYER (1820-1874) and Harriet N. FRANKLIN (1820-1905) who were married 15 May 1841 in Marylebone, Middlesex, England. Mary was one of 7 children born to this couple including John Musgrove; Henry George; Charles Franklin; Frederick “Fred” William; Edward; Harriet “Hattie” Elizabeth; and Mary Louisa TYER, all born between 1842 and 1857.
Mary died on 5 May 1929 in Adel, IA and is buried there as well. Her sister Hattie married Marion Levi DIDDY (1849-1918) and they had four children including Harriet Mae; Marion Clinton; Charles Walter; and Grace Myrtle DIDDY, all born between 1877 and 1891.
Grace was b. 1 Mar 1881 in Perry, IA and married George Walter PADGHAM (1880-1954) in Perry, IA on 29 Jun 1910. The couple had three children including Baby PADGHAM born and died in 1912; Walter Henry or Harry PADGHAM (1914-1992); and Helen Elizabeth PADGHAM (b. 1918).
Grace died 9 Dec 1962 in Los Angeles, CA.
I would like to get the photograph to family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family or know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
