The older man is most likely eighty or more. The younger maybe sixty I would think.

Thanks for your efforts. The sun just washed out to much of the details. I have a somewhat better copy but it was cropped. I guess you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. There just isn't enough to work with. Thanks again,

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can you help with this 1919 Original
« on: Tuesday 27 March 07 00:26 BST (UK) »
I have been trying to post a photo. It was always to large. I think I have it now. This is an original photo taken in 1919. My Father-inlaw carried it in his pocket for years. He died in 1997 at age 96. It wasn't a very good picture but I would appreciate anything that can be done with it.
Thank you,
Thank you,

I know this is quite an old post. I just joined this week. I live about twenty miles from Leroy, N.Y. I don't know if I can be of any help to you.

I am no expert on horses but doesn't that look like a rider's crop rather than a whip for a team of horses. I would think a whip for a team would have to be much longer.

I think you intended to say he had spurs on his boots and I think your correct.

The Lighter Side / Re: genealogy helped me....

I didn't write what I did to discourage anyone. Those were just my thoughts of how lucky most of us are to not have these horrible things happen to us, We also have a much easier life than our ancestors. The thing that impresses me is that they overcame all those things and more. Most of my relatives lived into at least their seventies. I was in the same situation as Michelle when I started. I think the best thing anyone that is searching for their roots can do is get exposure. Put queries on every place they can. Explain who you are and who your looking for. There are a number of nice people out there looking for the same people you are. Somewhere someone has the answers you need.
Good luck Michelle, Sorry, I didn't mean to discourage you.

Learn to appreciate the hard ships & heartaches of our forefathers.
Imagine your children or spouse dying prematurely or watching them as died from diseases that are easily cured or prevented today.
My wife's grand-father took 39 months to die from Lou Gehrig's disease in 1910 at age 33. My great- grand-parents lost a son during the American civil war at age 20. The second son right after being discharged after surviving Gettysburg & being a prisoner of war in Richmond Va. for nearly a year. was drown at the age of 25.The third( my grand-father) was discharged after spending almost a year in Andersonville prison, Ga. A terrible hell hole of a prison.
Some of the least wealthy people in this country live better than most of our forefathers.
Consider that the average person died at age 47 in this country in 1907.
