I found this picture in my files and I had forgotten it.  I don't know where I got it or from whom.  But I thought it worth putting up because it is such a nice picture.  Who ever gave it to me did the identification.

Lucinda Thurman Gudgel

Click on the picture for a larger picture. 

Do you know who Lucinda is?  She is an ancestor of many Gudgels. William Gudgel was the last son of old Andrew Gudgel.  He was with Andrew when Andrew moved to Indiana from Kentucky.  He must have stayed on in the cabin built by Andrew. This picture of his widow was taken with Lucinda sitting in front of the cabin probably about 1890 although I have not checked the date of her death.  This picture was an albumen print from Walter Harris  who lived not far from Lincolns home in Illinois. I received several valuable pictures from him and I am eternally grateful.  More on this later.  boB's archives has a picture of this cabin just before it was demolished in the 1940's I think.. But this is the earliest picture I know of any Gudgel. This albumen print was in very bad shape.  Albumen prints do not last  very long compared to other kinds. I was lucky to get it from Walter before it was totally gone.

The place to look for information about Gudgel.  This will be a place to put everything about the Gudgels.  Essentially a Wikipedia for Gudgel. Let  Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines keep our family records. A sort of cloud computing.    Each person will maintain their own records like Wikipedia does. Like Wikipedia participants will also have the opportunity to correct to correct other errors too.  Why pay genealogy.com to find and keep our records.  This is the first to be published on AndrewGudgel.blogspot.com so much has to be done.  I hope this will be the place to come for any information about Gudgel

Have a nice day.
