A common thread
Constantly digging; in the dirt, into history, and following my roots.
I have recently uncovered images Canady family figures. One, my great great grandfather, Mose Canady, his wife, Amanda and our extended family. The other, a photo of my great uncle Daniel Canady, son of Mose Canady, and brother of Desmal Canady (my great grandfather.) The images were made in Stillmore,Georgia...a landscape where my roots run deep.

Desmal, what an amazing piece of our family's history. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Wow...what a great piece of the past. Those pictures are wonderful. I love how old images look, thanks for sharing!
Wow...I didn't know you had those. They are wonderful! I had recently come across some very old pics from my mom's side of the family. Very cool!
