The Face of Genealogy

I don't live on the West Coast, but I will be attending the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree.   The website LA Weekly published an offensive article and photograph about the upcoming Jamboree, which has made the genealogical community quite upset.   I won't reproduce their article or photograph here, but if you are curious you can follow this link.

[ Note: UPDATE:  the offensive photo was removed and replaced with a photo of the Jamboree app! It appears that the text has changed, too.  This is the power of blogging!  However, as of 7 PM on Sunday June 5th, no apology or retraction from the L.A. Times. ]

In response, the members of the Genealogical Blogging Community have decided to run posts showing our own faces of genealogy.  I believe this image represents my family history:

Charles and Comfort (Boodey) Caverly 

I love this painting because it shows my Caverly cousins, painted by an itinerant New Hampshire painter about 1836.  It has the figures of father, mother, child and cat - just like my family!  For a blog post on this painting, please see this link:
