WhatWasLostIsFoundToday's prompt for #GenealogyPhotoADay is "family" and this image epitomizes family for me in more than one way.
It is a picture of the Holt family of Pawtucket, Providence, Rhode Island and consists of Thomas Andrew Holt with his wife Mary Ann Batters and their eleven children but it is also a symbol of two family trees joining together.
Mary Ann Batters was my 3rd Great Aunt born in Ashton-under-Lyne, Lancashire, England, a branch of my Batters family that emigrated to the US in the 1880s.
Her husband Thomas was the 3rd Great Uncle of a family friend Richard Jones whose family tree merges with mine at his Great Great Grandmother Harriet Holt, sister to Thomas Andrew Holt.
I love it when friends become family.
