Great-Grandfathers and Great-Grandchildren



Matthew McAdam and Beth Emmert

For many years, after the death of his wife, Matthew McAdam spent winters in Los Angeles with his step-daughter, Mary Burnet Emert and her family.  Mary and Harry Emert had one son, Robert Emmert.  Robert and Marjorye Emmert had one child - a daughter, Marjorye Elizabeth Emmert.  She was born in Los Angeles in April of 1919 and called Beth.  I date this photo to the summer of 1920.  Matthew looks to be an indulgent Great-Grandfather!




James Waning and Kierstyn - 1994

Seventy four years later, Matthew McAdam's grandson, James Waning had the opportunity to pose with his Great-Granddaughter, Kierstyn! James Waning looks pretty indulgent too!

  1. He was indulgent, especially with Quinten and Mikaila. He used to wear plastic bead necklaces they made for him. Good memories. Thanks
