Monday Motivation ✨

This week, our spotlight shines with the unknownfacecollection. 💜

Today, we travel back to the 1860s–1870s in Galesburg, Illinois, where Rev. Isaac Fargo III devoted his life to faith, family, and community.

Born in 1817 in Montville, Connecticut, to Isaac Fargo II and Sarah Rogers, he married Elizabeth Chapman and journeyed through several states before settling in Illinois as a minister.

Captured by N. Briggs, this wonderful portrait reminds us that behind every name and date lies a story of movement, devotion, and timeless faith.

Brand new blog!

We often picture grand country houses filled with lords, ladies, and lavish parties, but it was the servants who kept everything running. From butlers and cooks to scullery maids and footmen, millions worked “in service,” shaping Britain’s social history.

In 1908, this boy, known only as “Son”, worked long days as a trapper boy in the coal mines of West Virginia, opening heavy doors to keep miners alive.

Many were as young as 10, earning pennies because every pair of hands was needed to survive.

Photos like this shocked America and helped end child labour in the mines.

Today, we travel back nearly a century to 1927 to the heart of Kraków, where children played joyfully among the fallen leaves in Planty Park 🍂

Captured in this beautiful photograph from the Narodowe Archiwum Cyfrowe, their laughter and imagination remind us that even in changing times, the spirit of childhood remains timeless.

We’re delighted to share this wonderful post from Your Roots in Poland, whose work in Polish genealogy helps bring moments like this back to life.

As genealogists, moments like these inspire us, reminding us that behind every name and date in the records, there once lived stories full of wonder, play, and everyday joy!
