George Ernest Falkner, Jr.

George Ernest Falkner, Jr. in front of Olympia Arena in Detroit, Michigan, USA. For some reason, it makes me think of bootlegging. I have a letter from his sister admonishing him to “never do that again,” so I wonder what he got up to in the wild days of prohibition. #falknerjarrell #ancestors #familyhistory #genealogy #genealogyphoto...

Halloween or Thanksgiving?

Halloween or Thanksgiving? My siblings and me. Mom often had creative ideas for our Halloween costumes. In this year, my siblings were Pilgrims and I was a cardboard turkey. I remember not being able to move my arms and bumping into things in my cardboard shell. Note my brother’s moustache and goatee. 🎃🎃 #falknerjarrell #ancestors... Continue Reading →

George Ernest Falkner, Jr. with Sons

George Ernest Falkner, Jr. (Ernie) with sons, Ronald (left) and Patrick (my father), early 1940s. This Kodachrome slide is over-exposed, but shows my grandfather as a young father. My father’s oversized shirt collar and naive outfit make it quite poignant. #falknerjarrell #ancestors #familyhistory #genealogy #genealogyphoto #ancestry #knowyouroots #family #vintagephotography #oldphotos #oldphoto #ancestor #antiquephoto #genealogyresearch #oldphotograph...
