GFNEWS Wacky Ancestors Photo Contest
Deadline September 15, 1999
(Just in time for our Halloween issue!)GFNEWS' lead editor Carol Zahn discovered this ancestor while climbing her Loshbaugh family tree! Of course, this got us all giggling and jumping at the chance to publicize this somehow!
In her defense, Carol desperately believes she's not the ONLY one on the face of the earth with a wacky looking ancestor!
If you've unearthed a crazy, weird or otherwise wacky looking ancestral photo, SEND IT IN to the Genealogy Forum NEWS Wacky Ancestor Photo Contest!
Grand Prize - Generations Grande Suite, which includes SnapShot photo retouching software, courtesy of Elon Gasper. The winner will be announced on September 29, 1999 on Elon Gasper's Internet genealogy talkshow, GENERATIONS: FIND YOUR ROOTS. It's the only Internet genealogy talk show of its kind, featuring live audio, live chatroom and live images. This completely interactive "webshow" lets people from around the world (literally) meet and discuss their ancestry research problems, find new website resources, and communicate with genealogy experts for a fun, uniquely interactive experience.
