Some families from Ancient Faces

I joined the Ancient Faces web site many years ago, and posted pictures on that site that I'd purchased on Ebay, for the use of family researchers. I've been amazed at the number of people who have written for more information. I almost always asked the Ebay sellers for any info, and a few have had some, but unfortunately, due to where the photos are from and how they have been passed around, I do not often have any helpful information for the researchers more than just the name.

There are thousands of photos on the site, and some years ago I spent dozens of hours going through them looking for larger families. However the computers I was working on then have all since bitten the dust, and lost the bookmarks. It will take some time to undertake this again. And I don't know how much memory I am allowed on this blogging host. I may end up posting tiny versions and then linking to them on Ancient Faces. Here are a few for today. Enjoy!
