    Nice, just needs a bit of spot healing on the sweater.

    Old pictures are great... I have a picture of me that was shot when I was two years old The unique thing is that the picture was shot the day my wife was born

    I salvaged a plethora of photographs from my mother's "shoebox" collection a little while before her death. I copied these images and sent them to my cousin in New York City (where my mother was a patient in a hospital).

    She was able to get my mother to identify many of the people in the images. She then just wrote the names on the copies...

    NOTE: Pictures are great but, without identification, they are just curiosities without any intrinsic genealogical or family value...

    Note: I have a wonderful picture of my paternal grandmother and her family which, I am guessing, was taken about 1900 or a bit before.. However, except for my grandmother and her sister, I cannot positively identify all the persons in this group.

    There is a wonderfully picturesque old gentleman whom I strongly suspect is my grandmother's grandfather or my second great grandfather He has a great beard and is wearing some sort of device that I suspect is a Confederate War Veteran's decorative device.
