An Album of Unknown Photographs

[sestanley]

I'm posting this in the hope that someone somewhere can also claim one of my ancestors as their own. That they can recognize some of these people.

Martha Evans' Album:
http://lightfootfamily.rootschat.net/album/index.html


This album belonged to my Gt. Grandmother. Her name was Martha Paddock (nee Evans) born 1854. She was the daughter of Hugh and Maria Evans (nee Roberts of Llangedwyn, Denbighshire) of Llanfechain, Montgomeryshire.

I don't know who these people are, but in many of the photographs I see a very strong family likeness.

The photos originate from various places. Yet another mystery.
Oh how I wish they had written on them!

Hi , It seems alot of people have the same problem as me. Albums full of photographs of unknown people.We know they're of some relation ( why else would we have the photo's ? ) but can't figure out how their related or who they are.I set up a website specifically for photographs like these. Where they can be posted up onto the web along with all known details, in the hope that someone will visit the website and recognise a face!
If your interested in this idea then please get in touch with me

Don't forget there's also Rootschat's Victorian photos website:

www.victorian-photos.rootschat.net

I haven't updated it in a while, but I have contributions now from a couple of people which have to be put up.

Ths has given me food for thought.  I know the people in the photos I have taken, but in years to come someone may be wondering who they are.   It's a job for a nice rainy day to get out the albums and put the names and descriptions of family (and friends) on to the back of them.

Prue, as a person knowledgeable in this area (photographs) would you suggest writing on the back? It is great to identify, but isn't there a safer way, as any ink and pressure are both going to cause problems further down the road...? J.J.
