This original black and white photo of three adorable children comes courtesy of the National Library of Ireland photo gallery. According to their notes, these are the Murdoch siblings (left to right): Adeline (age 4), Maude (age 8), and Sidney (age 3). The photo was taken in 1905.

It has been beautifully colorized with rich, true to life colors by Okkama Colorizations, now providing services exclusively at The Psychogenealogist.

The Murdoch family came from Kilcoran, a town outside of Cahir in County Tipperary, Ireland.

Fans of The Psychogenealogist Facebook Page voted for this photo to be colorized in Poll #10. Stay tuned for future polls!

I have a special affinity for all things Ireland as many of my ancestors came from there, mostly from County Cork. Here are some posts that highlight that history.
