I seen a vintage photo image of a child contortionist by the name of Alma Ynclan(1937), while touring the Ripley’s museum in San Antonio, Tx. I have since tried to locate images of her elsewhere to include internet searches and have had no success. Are there any other places to view images of this paticular contortionist. She is the splitting image of one of my inlaws.
