I haven't found a place for photos here. If there is one, please tell me. I can't be the only one who loves photos.
My only rule? You have to be somehow related to at least one person in the pic.
Oh yeah, and no recent pics. That should be a given. Privacy and all that.
In the meantime...
Why not just use here.
Anyhow..
My maternal greatgrandparents
James Parker Smith and Lity May (Dove) Smith

Mmm... Those cakes look lovely!
Anyway, here's my photos. First one is of my great grandmother Vera Moon, it was taken about 1915. Second is my great great grandfather Henry John Moore and my great grandmother Annie Elizabeth Moore, it was taken about 1900. The third big family one is the entire Moon family in the summer of 1898, Vera (the one in the first photo) is the one on the right sitting on the bench!

This guy owned a bank in Derby. He was around between 1714 and 1782. He is my 7x grandfather. Just as well I didn't inherit his hair.

Yeah, I'm not sure! If you mean me, those two big spots on one of my photos are luckily just from my camera flash (I've not got a scanner!).
Anyway, I've got another pic. This one is George Thompson, my first cousin six times removed! Pretty distant... He was a well known slavery abolishionist in the early 19thC.
If you're lucky enough to have even any distant slightly distinguished ancestors, www.npg.org.uk is fantastic for finding portraits.

What wonderful photos!!! I love the old black and whites. Unfortunately, all mine are framed and on the wall - so I will have to start scanning them so I can post them here.
Thanks to Tariana for starting this thread - maybe we should have a Photos Board on Rootschat - Trystan are you reading this, and what do you think????? :D
I'm off to start scanning now.......................... ;)
