Title: Stasia Symons b 1900 Waipawa New Zealand my great grandmother
Post by: kctoo on Thursday 10 January 19 10:38 GMT (UK)
Hi Chatters,

I have finally found time to come back to my fave hobby chasing my ancestors now that my 4 descendants are a little more able to look after themselves. 

And a kind cousin has sent me a beautiful if not damaged photo of my great grandmother Stasia to add to my slowly reviving tree.

I was wondering if anyone reading this is able to help fix some of the damage on this image?

Very many thanks in advance
Kerry

Hello & welcome
1 from me.
Have to say Carol you're skin toning always looks better than mine.
I can never quite get it right.

Dear Carol, Jim 1, Treetotal, Daniel Latorre and Trishanne,   
I am so very grateful to you all for your sterling work.  Until last night I had never even seen a photo of g grandmother Stasia and now this morning to wake to find so many lovely copies of her photo restored, well, I am so very thankful.  Your generosity with your time and skills are very much appreciated.
very best wishes to you all

Thanks Peter, 
You seem like a super nice bunch, I might stick around. 

ps I just noticed your names list and know some Leadbetters (through different circumstances but it turns out they are cousins) here in Brisbane.  Could belong to your convict, of course that would be typical as it seems everyone has convicts except me :(.

thanks again
Kerry
