Tags: scarf symbols wales welsh 1860 pennsylvania antique choral temperance rosebud anchor cross  Description:I've been told by different sources that the man in this photo, ca 1862 (great-great grandpa) is wearing either a Welsh choral society scarf or a temperance society scarf. The photo was probably taken in Pennsylvania. The couple came from Glamorganshire, Wales. I've bothered people in five different Welsh museums and archives and libraries... I think the rosebud may significant because it appears on his scarf and she's holding one. |
