Nice photo of Ole Bull (1810-1880)
signed on back "Ole Bull presented by his daughter Olea? (Alexander) Bull Vaughm", I haven't been able to figure out who the daughter is.

@hamptonauction Do you have access to Ancestry? I found quite a bit or documentation there about Sara Olea Bull Vaughn, but attaching links to these records from Ancestry will not work for non-members. I have to go out shortly and won't be back for several hours, but I can print out and scan docs and records when I get back if you want.

 

Interesting info on Olea, thank you for all your interesting research. I did have an Ancestry account, but let it drop last year.
Bronwen, love your cameo thread and thank you for all the work you put into teaching us. I have a very large cameo, and a cameo ring that I will be posting, I believe that you will especially like the large cameo.

 

Thank you. I will take that as a promise (that you will show us) & hold you to it.
