Estes todos são ligados das caras antigas. Para ver a entrada original ir a ancientfaces.com e procurarar os nomes.

Eu não pesquiso estas famílias e não tenho nenhuma informação da família. Eu sou pesaroso que eu não posso ser mais útil.

The Puente Family is my family. Narciso was my grandfather and I lived with Pauline (Paula), Florentina (Tina), and Teodora. My dad Narciso Jr. who is still alive today has told me many stories about almost all the siblings. Where did you obtain this photo from? We have a lot of old photos of the family as my parents still live in the last residence of the Puente Family. But, we do not have this photo. I recognize almost the faces too!

I just saw your comment (blogger failed to send me notification so I didn't realize until now) and am so pleased that you have found a new picture of your family!!! I would love to print some of the stories your father has told of his childhood (if they are family friendly! lol) I got the photo from AncientFaces.com. To find it, just go to the site and search the name. Okay, I'll do it, it's at http://www.ancientfaces.com/research/photo/349736

You can even contact the person who posted the photo and maybe find some long-lost family! Please let me know if your do as I would love to know.

All the best. I would write you separately but I am not a myspace member.

Thank you for commenting!

I just found this picture, my grand father is Epimenio, I do not know any of the Puente's because I was born out of wedlock. Many people know my family and I've been looking for information. I would love to hear those stories as well.

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."
