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.
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.
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 included for some of the people included.
