52 Ancestors: Week 5: "A Breakthrough Moment" - Update on my search for Nanny's beach-going friends

Just an update on my search for the families of the young people pictured here. 


The young girl kneeling on the right is my grandmother, Clare Henry-Earle. This image was found in one of her scrapbooks. There were actually 2 copies of the image, one of which was labeled. It is so very helpful to label your photos. Label them. Actually, print photos and then label them. No one seems to print pictures anymore. They are all just on our phones. Anyway...

Two weeks ago I tracked down the children of the Santa Maria sisters. One of the kids, Jill, provided me with some information she found online for the unfound boys in that photo.

Through her details, I have now shared this picture with the family of Ed Peter. Thank you, Jill, Ed's daughter thanks you as well.

That leaves me just three more families to locate; those of Claude Arnaud, Joseph Willis, and Ed Heinlein.

Thus far everyone has been very grateful to see a picture of their parent or grandparent as a teen, young and having fun.
