]]> This week in Amy Johnson Crow’s 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks the prompt is “School Days”.

This week Ancestry.com offered free access to their database – U.S., School Yearbooks, 1900-1999, so I went in and looked up some family names. Unfortunately they didn’t have a lot for the places my husband’s family lived, but I did find his father in 1961 and 1962.

Here is Bill’s entry for his Senior year. The photo is from 1962 at Boca Ciega High School in Gulfport, Florida.

Bill – 1962

Several years ago my mother-in-law gave me her high school yearbook for her senior year in 1966. She attended Hibbing High School in Hibbing, Minnesota so I decided to include it here too.

Sharon – 1966

If anyone reading this has family in the 1966 Hematite yearbook, feel free to send me a message. I have the whole book, complete with photos and messages from several of Sharon’s classmates.

I also have a copy of the 20-year reunion booklet for the 1966 graduating class, that has a wealth of genealogical information for some of the people included.
