Among my mother's family photos (mostly of very plainly-dressed people in NC and GA), one photo stands out: 2 fancily-dressed young women. The photo is annotated as "Amie Mills" and "Annie Nix". I have no idea how (or if) either of them is related to my family. I would like to contact someone who is related to either of these women and see if we can figure out why my mother would have had their photos.
Because part of my family lived in Newton Co., Georgia, I searched the US census records for that area. In the 1920 US census in the town of Porterdale, GA, I found an "Ammie Janes Mills" (born about 1902) and an "Annie Nix" (born about 1904). Both worked at the Twine Mill. Since my grandparents Fred Fitzu Hampton and Sudie Jane Bates lived in Porterdale, GA in 1920, the women in the census may be the ones in my photo, which would put them agewise in my grandparents generation.
Although I've talked to 3 relatives into genealogy on the Bates and Hampton sides of my family, none of them knew of these 2 women. One, a Bates relative, told me that a "Nix" had married into the Bates family in the early 1900s, but he had no specific details and I was not able to confirm this myself.
