Riddle me this! My great grandparents were good friends with the famous racehorse (Man O'War & War Admiral) owner Samuel D. Riddle and his brother Leander Riddle. The first two photos from my family photo album. #genealogy #history

Thank you @lronlacy.bsky.social for preserving the memory of my great grandfather. #genealogy #history #prohibition #usmarshal

Growing up my Dad says in the basement there was a big oil painting of "a man with a mustache". I really wonder if it was this official PA State Treasurer portrait of my gg grandfather, William L. Mathues? #genealogy #PATreasurer #LostHeirlooms

Pretty proud of these roots! My great granpda Frank, as US Marshal for Eastern District of PA 1921-1930, appointed the only female bailiff in the U.S. at that time! #genealogy #history

It's hard for me to believe my great grandparents, W. Frank & Eleanor Mathues' 112.5 ac. Horseshoe Point Farm & Resort on the #Chesapeake has now become the US’ largest outdoor education campus and premier retreat destination. #genealogy #familyhistory northbayeducation.org

I never had the chance to meet my paternal grandfather, George but I hope he is with me today as I face a big life descision. Born on this day in 1913 in the Upper West Side of #NYC. Here is to his memory. #familyhistory #love #memories

Thinking of my great great grandfather, George T. Montgomery who was born on this day in 1866. VP of New York Athletic Club, President of Montgomery & Co. tool company, beloved Mason, son-in-law of @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social. #genealogy #nyc #ancestors #birthday

I so love this photo of my great grandparents W. Frank & Eleanor Mathues courtesy of Collection of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. #genealogy #familyhistory

Is it just me, or did my grandpa's sportcoat make him look ready to join Howard Cosell in the booth? 😆 #familyphotos

Nothing like getting an Amazon recommended book...do a double-take and realize it's your great grandfather on the cover! #genealogy #history #prohibition #philadelphia #usmarshal

I'm really grateful/thankful for the opportunities my #genealogy & #familyhistory research has afforded me. Such as the Smithsonian inviting me to their offsite storage facility to see up close & personal the Jonathan Scott Hartley bust of my ggg grandfather. americanart.si.edu/artwork/judg...

Happy Thanksgiving rock n'rollers!

I'd love to confirm if the man in center (holding book) of this Raeburn Van Buren #Prohibition era print from 1925 #Philadelphia Sat Eve Post is based on my great grandfather. #genealogy ebay.us/m/WnBVlr

Hard to believe my great grandparents used to hang with Harold Lloyd among other #Hollywood notables. #genealogy #familyhistory #oldphotos

Well the preacher kept right on saying that all I had to do was send 10 dollars to the church of the Sacred Bleeding Heart Of Jesus Located somewhere in Los Angeles, CA And next week they'd say my prayer on the radio And all my dreams would come true So I did the next week I got a prayer with a girl

Sure wish I could have seen my ggg grandfather James C. Allen's storefront, 1209 Chestnut St, Philadelpha, PA in all its 19th Century glory. #genealogy #victorianfurniture #Philadelphia #history

I always have to smile a bit when I expand Ancestry & it puts Jack Kerouac next to my grandma. #genealogyj #nyc #kerouac #edieparker #beatgeneration

Happy Saturday! I'd like to share one of my dearest #familyphotos. A colorized version of my great grandma, Eleanor circa 1909. Methinks this may have been from her debut to #NYC Society. #genealogy #familyhistory

One of my favorite look-a-likes in my family tree is my grandma's cousin Henry Wilson Moorhouse Jr. and his 2nd cousin 2x removed, #RichardHardingDavis en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard... #genealogy #ancestry #genetics 🧬👀

I'd like to share an amazing item I was able to purchase and bring back to my family. A campaign ribbon worn by my great great grandfather William L. Mathues during his sucessful run for #PATreasurer. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William... #genealogy #Pennsylvania #History

Not everything gets passed down in family lines. My great great grandfather, George T. Montgomery (son-in-law of @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social), was Vice President of the New York Athletic Club. Yet I've gone my entire life without playing an organized sport. 🤷‍♂️ #genealogy #history #NYC

I love finding these quirky #genealogy connections. I have a copy of my great grandma's will that apparently was prepared by Archie Bunker's dad! Guess you can say this one is #AllInTheFamily 😀

My most cherished possesion, albeit a digital copy. A letter from Theodore Roosevelt to my 3rd great grandfather @judgenoahdavis.bsky.social Help me find the original! #genealogy #history

Thank you for your post. I do have one small correction, the man in the photo is my great grandfather, W. Frank Mathues US Marshal Eastern District of PA. www.loc.gov/item/2012649...
