Do you have photos of ancestors on your wall?

[Subaru]

I have a Rogue's gallery on my wall, with lots of nice black and white photos of my rellies. 
I often glance at them while I'm on the computer, trying to find somebody from their branch.  I was never interested in them until I started researching them.

I just wish I had more, unfortunately with most of my family being miners, ag labs etc, I don't think they had the money for photos.

Does anybody else have a similar collection on the wall?

Certainly do, Rosemary, including my Aunt shown on the left.

Like you, I don't have many photographs and as no-one thought to write names on the back it took me quite a while to identify some of them

Hi,

Yep me too.  I now have two of those frames that hold 6/7 photos in them.  One for my late mum's rellies and one for my late father's.  I have them on my computer/craft room wall and they look over my shoulder when I'm researching trees.  I'm sure sometimes a quiet cheer goes up when I find someone I've been looking for.

Draft as it may sound, I do actually talk to them (but don't tell anyone) 

I have this vain hope that by doing the family tree someone in years to come will have me proudly displayed on their wall, one can dream

Thanks to the amazing skill and generosity of the RootsChat restoration experts, I now have on my sideboard several beautiful framed coloured prints of old family photos from around a century ago. Although I have a fondness for old sepia prints, the colouring when done well really brings the ancestors to life and makes them feel more like family . . . 

Once I've re-decorated, I'll put some hooks up and hang them properly . . . . 

Mike.

I have had framed portraits of gt grandmother and gt grandfather (my current avatar)  John is resplendant with full beard even as a young man.  I too talk to them (and sometimes swear at them!)

Hi All.
So glad that other people on here talk to their family photos as well. I very often ask them for help in finding those elusive brothers and sisters or children.
I have about 32 photo frames on my wall recording the family.
My personal favorite is my gg aunt Nell's wedding on which there are 6 out of 12 brothers and sisters. Also my Nan as a baby on her granddads knee.
Also have 2 large photos of my gg grand parents taken on there golden wedding anniversary.

I'm very lucky and have lots of photos of my ancestors, and have them displayed on the wall going up the stairs. 

When friends and family visit, I often have to explain to them who each person is.

I'm fortunate too in having many photographs of my ancestors. My computer room/family history room has lots of photographs framed and on display, and I have a family "gallery" on top of my piano.

But my prized possession is a free standing family tree, which has tiny frames to hang from its branches. On that I have my parents, grandparents, great grandparents, and great great grandparents' faces in the tiny frames. 

The saddest thing I have is an album of old photos of my German ancestors.......none of which are named!
