last name taylor: meet my relatives!

a long lost relative in kansas city, looking to fill in her family tree (probably obsessed with the TV show, "who do you think you are?" like I was last year) has come out of the woodwork! my mom spent a few hours chatting with her & she sent these never before seen photographs of the Taylor/ Mistele side of the family (not an overly friendly looking bunch). My Grandpa Taylor's mother committed suicide when he was a boy & his father left town (for San Francisco we just learned) - so we're all trying to piece the puzzle together!

Charles Elmer Taylor & Dorthea Sophia Augusta Mistele Taylor (my great grandparents) are on the far right...
