Beautiful.

Very nice. Thank you for posting this.

Tarocchi? It was popular in previous centuries so it might have been popular in certain regions in the 19th century, too. I think there were tournaments in very recent years if I'm not mistaken. The decks didn't catch on for card-game purposes here in the US though. But I guess "divination&quo...

No takers on the pies? Okay. Well, does anyone want to discuss bread?

I don't agree on either point. I think the hair is simply the way it is combed. The facial features and ear match IMHO. The woman to me has a very distinct overall appearance I see in both photos. I have photos of my own mother taken A YEAR apart that look like totally different people (but they ar...

I looked at both photos carefully, and it looks like the same couple to me.

I haven't heard about it. I did a Google search and couldn't find anything. Is it recent?

Lol. Maybe. But since he gave his company an Indian name and embraced Indian culture, I doubt it. I don't get my father for pulling towards a heritage that's not his own. It's kind of creepy in my opinion. He descended from European royals and warriors. He should have "gotten to know" them...

I've never heard of anyone finding documentation of a Native ancestor without looking for it. As a matter of fact, I haven't heard of anyone finding a Native ancestor even when they searched high and low. Most true Native descendants are accounted for and members of a tribe. My fair-skinned, tall, b...
