Lewis Mines family.

Six of the 18 people in this photo are fairly positively identified - 4 of 5 boys in front row, and their parents, Lewis and Carrie Mines, seated in the center. The others are most likely the grown children from Lewis's first marriage, and their children. The unknown children could include Louisa Mines, Nellie Mines Titchenal, Ray Mines, Warren Mines, and Warren's wife Lois Jane Gregg Mines. Location unknown but could be Clarksburg, WV, just before the boys and parents moved to Warren, OH. The contributor's theory is that this was a sort of farewell get-together photo, before Lewis and his "second family" moved away.

Four of the younger boys are named as Lloyd Mines, b Jan 30, 1893; Roscoe Mines, b Nov 1, 1889; Henry Cadwell Mines, b Sep 18, 1885; Wilbur Mines, b Sep 3, 1887. The parents are Carrie Titchenal Mines, b May 20, 1855, and Lewis Mines, b Sep 29, 1834.




Editha Linville Brown and children. Editha (Mrs. Thomas Soder) poses with her five living children (L-R) Alvin, Nona Kay holding the hand of baby Mamie Anne Marie, Myrtle, Editha, and Ora, in Gordon, West Virginia. Ella, the first born, died at age five. Thomas, the father, died 6 Sept 1913, so this family photo may have been taken at around that time.



This photo was found in a LaValley family album. The contributor believes it is the Edmund and Eveline (LaValley) Nault Family. Pictured are Edmund and Eveline and their children, Paul, Philip, Eva, Exima, Edmund Jr., and Peter. For birthdates, see the Ancient Faces entry under the Edmund Nault family.




Palmer family, Oct 1901.

Left to right: Thomas Palmer, 7 yrs, b Dec 20, 1893; Andrew Palmer, 52, b Feb 18, 1849; Andrew Palmer, 4, b Aug 22, 1897; Joseph Palmer, 14, b Dec 3, 1886; Sarah Palmer, 10, b Apr 27, 1891; David Palmer, 1, b Apr 10, 1900; Anna Palmer, 35, b Apr 20, 1866; John Palmer, 13, b Apr 21, 1888.

I should be interested if you have any family information that might be included on the House Preston website for family records (www.mpreston.demon.co.uk) which I have been constructing. However, I do appreciate that you may not have been able to find anything more.

While still in the early stages, you may find it of interest to check the website and - perhaps - you could be able to add data to the records.

I have written privately, but if that doesn't reach you, could you be more specific about what you thought I might have more info on? Thanks.

I have a really old photograph album from around 1888 to a Harriet Gregory. It has been passed down to me from my great uncle and i have no idea who these people are. After seeing the family photo of the Joseph and Mathilda Gregory family. I can definatley see a reseblance with some of the people. I would be very greatful for any help with this?

Thanks

Hello, Angela. Thank you for your note. How fascinating about your album! I got the photo from the ancientfaces.com website, and don't know anything more about them. But if you go there and run a search for the name, you should be able to contact the contributor and ask them. It would be so exciting if they were able to tell you more, and maybe they would be thrilled to find that your album is related to them too. They may recognize the people and give clues as to how they connected to your great uncle.

Here, let me find the direct link for you. http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/348963/joseph-henry-gregory-family-family-photo The contributor is Kathy Gregory, up on the right side (though she posted it 11 years ago, so I don't know if her contact info is up to date.) You could also post a comment under the picture. Added to those and even better would be to post some of the most important photos from your album onto Ancient Faces where even more people might find them and help identify them.

For any of those things I am pretty sure you'll have to create an account with Ancient Faces but it's simple and safe...at least, I've had one for years and years and had no troubles.

Thank you again for writing. I would love to know if you are able to find anything out!

Sincerely
Natalia

Hello, Natalia. Thank you very much for your help. I am creating an account as we speak. The album is really amazing, with pictures of churches, schools, people and there is even a house in there that was bombed. Me and my family are not really sure whether it is family or just an album that was kept. But considering our family likes to throw things away and that it was kept in my Great Uncles bedside cabinet it must have meant alot to him.

Thanks again for your help and i will definitely keep you posted

Sincerly
Angela

Cowboy family from the 50s or early 60s.

I love this picture of a family with great big smiles!  I wonder whether this is their farm and their horse, or maybe they were city folk who wanted their family picture done on the farm.  I tend to believe the former because a picture on a dude ranch or friend's ranch would probably be with more obviously western clothing accessories and background. Forget the polo shirt!   I bought the picture on Ebay and have no information on the family or where this was found or taken.  Of course, if anyone recognizes them, please let me know!  I'm not familiar with the trees in the background.  Perhaps someone can tell me what they are and they will be a clue to the location. As usual, click on the photo to see it full-size.  It is actually REALLY big so you may need to click on the enlarged picture another time if your browser sizes it to fit the page.

Grown children of Thomas Darling

This is from Ancient Faces at https://www.ancientfaces.com/photo/grown-children-of-thomas-darling-group-portrait/404638 Contributor there writes "Group photo of all the brothers and sisters of Thomas Darling fathering. Undated. G.W. Darling was born in the 1830s - he looks like he's in his 30s on here, maybe. So, I figure it was taken around the 1870s or 1880s at the latest."
