Welcome to the second annual post for the Carnival of Genealogy Swimsuit Edition. I do confess that if I had known last year that this was an annual event, I would have saved some of the great beach photos of my Dad’s family from my post Genealogy Illustrated: Swimsuit Edition. So this year I will turn the spotlight on my mother instead. Here is my Mom as a young teenager with a friend – both dressed in their best swimwear!
My mother and her girlfriend, circa 1950, enjoying the sun.
The best thing about the photo is that they are not at the beach (or, as we say in my hometown Philly-speak, down the shore), but taking advantage of a beautiful day to catch some sun anyway.

Looks like the kind of summer day when the grass smells so sweet. . .
