Violet #1 and Violet #2

This is a photo of my maternal grandmother, Violet Mae Currie. She is the little girl on the left. It was taken about 1935 outside her parents' home in Flynn, Sanilac, Michigan.

This is my niece, Violet, who came to visit me from Arkansas this weekend. Isn't she a cutie? She is Violet #2, named after her great-grandmother.

Introducing Violet

Violet Cecile
b. 30 Sep 2010

I am finally an aunt! Violet is named for her great-grandmother, Violet Mae CURRIE. I will be going out to California to meet Violet on Thursday! Can't wait! I've already bought her a onesie with a pedigree chart on it from Fun Stuff for Genealogists. I figure since she is named for her great-grandmother, she is going to have to be the next genealogist, right? Violet is the first grandchild of my parents. She is the second great-grandchild and first great-granddaughter of my paternal grandparents. She is the 18th great-grandchild and 9th great-granddaughter of my maternal grandparents. She shares the same birthday as her second cousin, Blake, and was born exactly one month after her second cousin, Denni.
