Mothers Montage – An Homage to Mom

In honor of Mom, here are photographs of my mothers, from my own mom, to a couple of my great great great grandmothers. Even if old photos survive, their identities can be lost. See if you can connect the generations with the below photos. These women are from both sides of my family.

There is one mom (ha), two grandmothers, four great grandmothers, three great great grandmothers, and two great great great grandmothers. Numbering them left to right, top to bottom, try to align the generations of mothers by filling the remaining numbers below:

Remember to document Mom today!
