Do you think my maternal great-great-great grandparents would disapprove of how I do things? (Disclaimer below.)

 

  

Everett Hallaran (b. 1842 - d. 1931) and wife Francine Hallaran née Wells (b. 1850 - d. 1939) pictured approximately 1897.


[Disclaimer: this entire post is completely in jest. I found the photo online, saved it in my catalog for a couple of weeks until it would be handy, I don’t even know the people in it. I thought of the question and put the photo to use.

    If they knew even half of how you do things, they'd be spinning in their urns.  (now, how'd that get off the mantel?)

    Is there a family resemblance? (Cough, cough)

    There's no way to know since they're dead.

     I inherited his gaunt, lanky physique.

    No.  I think it was just forbidden to smile in photos back in those days.  I don't know anything about you of which your ancestors would summarily disapprove.

    Keeping sammich-making slaves in the basement would probably bring a disapproving frown.

      “Slave” is such an ugly word! We here at Randall Manor prefer the term “sandwichnistas”, thank you very much.
