The nursery rhyme "Hey Diddle Diddle" must have been popular in the early 1900s (in Australia too) as my grandmother has a card showing the moon but it is also showing a cat with a fiddle, a jumping cow and dish with spoon! <br /><br />Signa was very beautiful. An enjoyable post.

I suspect the name means something in Norway. For example, one of my great-grandmother's sister's name was Marie Elevine Bye. "Elevine" means the number eleven and I've been told that it was common practice in Norway to name the eleventh child "Elevine". When I first heard that, I had her documented as the 9th child. I have since found a missing child, making her #10. I know I am still missing a child in that family and need to keep looking.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03991552526356988301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5411664088821252866.post-24953101121627764412014-08-22T21:50:14.350-07:002014-08-22T21:50:14.350-07:00Notice that only their faces and hats were coloriz...Notice that only their faces and hats were colorized.
