Same name, with various middle names of course, but it was weird seeing those come up. None where of my old classmate, fortunately!!! <br />But we found her!! <br />Keep on googling!!

I think I'll have fun experimenting on that. Searching for stories about these Unknowns is quite intriguing. I remember the actor's name Willia Boyd vaguely although I don't think I have ever seen a silent film, and will have to google it to have an idea.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07866700983578714993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-64657257430166868162013-02-25T03:00:14.967+00:002013-02-25T03:00:14.967+00:00I really need to try that google images thingy!

This is almost as good as a time machine. <br /><br />I tried out this new Google feature recently with an image from Peter's blog and was startled when Google's algorithms found that a snapshot of his mother in the snow was the equivalent to photos of bathtubs and lavatories! <br /><br />How lucky that Aunt Dotty has such a distinctive face!
