Now this is a family portrait! It was taken in Tampa in 1924. That little baby in the middle grew up to be Mike's mom, who was my Grandma Grace, and the others are her mother's very large family. Grandma's mom is the lady holding her, and to their immediate right is her daddy, holding her sister, Evelyn.
Grandma turned out to be a very smart lady. One smart thing she eventually did was make up a sketch with the names of all the people in the photo. Notice that most of them are Something-or-other Neeld, but there are some inlaws and outlaws sprinkled in there, too.
M says more people should think to do stuff like that, as it makes looking at old family pictures much easier for their descendants.

You're right Buddy, Grandma was indeed one very smart lady! I think this picture is awesome! This is that house on Henry Street in Tampa, right? But it's not the same picture that was recreated some years later, is it?!

Impressive family photo, Buddy! I wish my family members had been excellent record-keepers like yours. Thanks for sharing.
