I am currently working on my Family Genealogy Group page for Facebook. In doing so I realized I have a tremendous amount of photos. I decided to feature one a week. No, not everyone is “perfect” however, they are to me!

This week I am showcasing my paternal 2nd Great Aunt Matilda Jane Hayes. She was born on October 16, 1847, in Grainger, Tennessee. At the age of 27 she married Charles Wolfe. This photo was taken on her wedding day on January 24, 1875. She looks like a very strong woman with a lot of confidence. This might be due to being part of a pioneering family. She was rugged and self-sufficient considering she was just 5 feet tall. I realize that this isn’t the most clear photo but it is the only one I have, and I love it.
I am a professional genealogist, writer, photographer, wife, mother, and grandma. I have two books available on Amazon.com: Your Family History: Doing It Right the First Time and Planning Your Genealogy Research Trip. You can also connect with me via Facebook or Twitter.
