Welcome family and friends!

This blog is dedicated to sharing photographs and historical documents relating to Peter Wayne Selner and his family and descendants. Many of these photographs were collected by my grandmother, Marian (Dawson) Selner (1913-2001) and have been passed down to me. Some are identified and some are not. They are posted in no specific order.

If you have any information about the photographs posted here, can identify people, places, or dates, or if you believe they are misidentified, please be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section. If you have a memory of the people or subject of the photograph, we would all enjoy reading that as well.

If you have Selner photos or documents to share and would like them posted, please email them to me at
kayomaxb@aol.com.

New items will be posted as I get them scanned and formatted so check back often to see what's new!
