Reply #15: I think this might be them (?)

[CountAllVotes]

I asked my foster aunt as to who were these people. My mother thought they were perhaps her real parents. My aunt thought that it might have been one of her mom's sisters. However, the sisters she mentions did not resemble the woman standing 2nd from the left, one was very tall and looked very "Indian" having dark hair and eyes, the others were not quite as dark, more fair skinned and a couple had lighter hair. All were mixed bloods.

My mother said the kids from this marriage were "all mixed up - having not the same mother and father". My mother said that she never knew anyone that kept company with the foster parents oddly. In fact, the very tall man did all of the shopping for the family, even clothing in fact. Quite an odd fact I've always thought.

On a larger version of this photo (which I haven't been able to find again since my mom died)), it appears that said woman in this picture is pregnant (you can sort of tell if you look closely). I am assuming that the man to the left of her is the father of the child she is carrying.

The other two people in the photo are the people that adopted her. The woman second from the right was my mom's Cherokee/Choctaw foster mother. She was the oldest of all of the children born (there were 6 total - 4 girls and 2 boys (perhaps a 3rd one that died as a young child)).

These people all had roots in Arkansas as well btw (both the foster parents and my mother's parents).

I do not believe that the first woman I discuss resembles the other woman at all (my mother's foster mom).

This picture was taken in Louisiana c. 1925 or so. As you can tell, the women are most certainly not "white". I rather think the man in the picture that is rather short looks somewhat Indian too. I found my real grandfather's WWI registration card and he is described as being "stout" with dark hair.

What do you think? Could this be a picture of my real grandparents? *sigh*
