The first photograph in the album is of the Reverend George Adams Joslin (1844-1921). He was Charles Joslin Call's maternal uncle, the brother of his mother Charlotte Joslin (1834-1908)

George Adams Joslin was born in Meshaw, Devon, England on April 10, 1844, the son of Robert Bird Joslin (1801-1881) and Mary Ann Adams (1808-1871).  He married Mary Whitford Verran (1841-1908) in Reduth, Cornwall, England on September 8, 1873. George and Mary had three children Mary Ann Joslin (1876-1965), George Stanley Joslin (1879-1952) and Elizabeth Verran Joslin (1887-1971). George died on May 6, 1921 in Madison, Dane County, Wisconsin. 

George Adams Joslin became a Methodist minister in the late 1860s in England. He worked in several parishes in Somerset, Kent, Devon and Cornwall between 1868-1879. In 1881, George immigrated to the United States, arriving on January 3, 1881. His wife and children may have immigrated with him, or followed shortly afterwards. Between 1881 and 1921, George ministered in several locations in Wisconsin, including Trousdale, Pepe, Merrimack, Louisville, Ellsworth, Benton, Fayette, Sparta, and Madison. 

His obituary was printed in the Northwest Christian Advocate, June 8, 1921, p 663.

My Grandmother's Recipes - Sandwiches

   I recently received a set of recipe cards from a cousin that were written by out grandmother Evelyn Clara (Call) Hankins, probably between 1920 (when she married) and 1962 (when she died). My grandmother was born in Wichita, Sedgewick, Kansas in 1895. Within a few months of her birth, the family moved back to Stafford, Genesee County, New York where her parents, Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939) and Elizabeth Ann Coe (1862-1956) were born. Evelyn lived in Stafford on the family farm until she left for college, first at Northwestern University in Chicago and then at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She graduated from Cornell in 1919 with a degree in Home Economics. After graduating, she worked for a year at Wells College in Aurora, Cayuga, New York, possibly as the Superintendent of a Dormitory, as a housekeeper or as a teacher. She married my grandfather, Francis William Hankins (1897-1963) in 1920 at her parents home in Stafford. Beginning in the 1930s, my grandmother ran the

Adding a Citation to a Document using Photoshop Elements 2023

This is the first is an occasional series of blog posts on using Photoshop Elements 2023 for genealogists. Many of my genealogist friends know I'm also a photographer, so have asked me how I do some things with genealogy-related images. The problem is - I use Photoshop and Lightroom - which are probably overkill for most genealogists, and are a subscription-based package. I used to recommend Irfanview (and still do for some things) but I was finding it hard to do some of what I do in Photoshop in Irfanview.  So enter Photoshop Elements 2023 - it has more features than Irfanview but isn't as user-hostile as Photoshop can be. And it's available for purchase as a stand-alone package - no monthly subscription fees! If you want to buy a copy of Photoshop Elements 2023 - I suggest purchasing it through Amazon using the affiliate link for Cyndi's List. I use Photoshop Elements on a Windows computer so my instructions are for the Windows version. Mac version may be slightly dif
