Posted to Geni's profile for Patrick DelaHunt by Michael R. Delahunt (b.1949) on September 15, 2012:
I challenge every descendant of Patrick Delahunt (1831-1908, among our ancestors from Ireland), whose photograph we've very recently become aware of, to obtain a bowler / derby like Patrick wore for his My Family on the Front Porch photographic portrait, c.1890, Milwaukee, WI," the one we've very recently become aware of. Here's the contest challenge: have your photo taken when you in some way (in a bowler / derby!) look comparable to that of our forebear, who somewhat resembles Sigmund Freud [we had a hunch DelaHunts, like Manierres, have Jewish ancestors].
I bought a mass-produced flocked molded plastic version of the hat for six dollars yesterday. I've uploaded a photo of my first attempt, albeit with neither beard nor suit with vest.
I'm considering Photoshopping Patrick's beard onto my face, or my face into Patrick's hair and clothing.
Please upload your entry as a contestant in the format of .jpg file(s) to Patrick DelaHunt's Geni profile at Patrick Dela Hunt
Deadline: none, other than: before you get away yourself!
Contest judges: posterity
I've posted my first entry into the contest.
