Hi, Tatiana, thank you for posting. I don't research any of these families, just post photos. However the first commenter on this post is a Dicenzo, you could try emailing him as he posted his email address. Also, go to AncientFaces.com and search the name; the person who posted it the picture there may be of help. Good luck! Natalia

Long awaited additions....

I don't know anyone but myself who has long awaited any additions to this picture blog, but isn't it best to assume the positive? Here are some photos from various genealogy or other sites. These are just thumbnails to tempt you. Clicking on the photo or on the link I give should link you to the family's site, to the page where the photo is. This is for courtesy and possibly copyright reasons. The Jacob-Buys family. Clicking on the picture above will take you to the original site, where names are listed under the photo.
