What A Find


 

My sister found this picture online. It is of my great-great-grandfather. He is seated on the left. 

I know the names but I am not sure who the others are. I believe them to be my great-great-great-grandfather who is also seated. The other might be my great-great-uncle. 

So this is the grandfather of my mother's father. The internet is a wonderful place.

    1. I do. Now however a cousin (much Younger)has informed me that he is not my relative. I still believe he is but we are investigating. He has a very unusual name so we will see.

  2. So, you have a new mystery, or not. At least you know the name, whether you ever match it to a picture.

    1. It is the same name. My much younger cousin is skeptical.

    1. I understand. My paternal grandfather died before I was born. I have never even seen a picture of him. I keep looking.

  5. Wow, that was luck! How did your sister do it - did she give the names into the Internet?
    And: do you know why this special picture was taken?
    Interesting that is, dear Emma!
