You "Auto" See This

It's summertime and a genealogists thoughts turn to... road trips!  So as we make our way to cemeteries, courthouses and libraries, it's fun to think back to how our ancestors traveled.

While going through old family pictures, I am always intrigued by those displaying old cars and buggy's.  Here is the progression in one family.  These are a few that make me smile.
