Back in 2010, in honor of Women’s History Month, Lisa Alzo created a list of writing prompts for each day during the month of March.  I didn’t participate in 2010, so I’m going to take the opportunity to participate this year, since Lisa was kind enough to resurrect her prompts for 2012.

Post a photo of one of your female ancestors. Who is in the photo? When was it taken? Why did you select this photo?


This is a photo of Maida “Meta” Hoffman, who married my great-granduncle, Charles Leppin.  It was supposedly taken on the ship when she emigrated from Germany to the US in 1928.
