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.
That is a rare find, one to treasure!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
DeleteSo, you have a new mystery, or not. At least you know the name, whether you ever match it to a picture.
ReplyDeleteIt is the same name. My much younger cousin is skeptical.
DeleteOh dear Emma what a luck you have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletethere are so many people who take pain and dig deep to learn the names and whereabouts of their ancestors and you found the image Wow !
this is pure destiny ,i wish i can see my paternal grandfather like this someday
hugs!
I understand. My paternal grandfather died before I was born. I have never even seen a picture of him. I keep looking.
DeleteWhat a great find, a special photograph.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I am thrilled.
DeleteWow, that was luck! How did your sister do it - did she give the names into the Internet?
ReplyDeleteAnd: do you know why this special picture was taken?
Interesting that is, dear Emma!
I have no answer to either question.
DeleteThat's such a great find!
ReplyDeleteI makes me happy.
