I am always a bit sad to see cabinet photos in antique stores, abandoned, orphans that someone had counted as unimportant at some time and cast them aside. My father was the family historian, and so I have photos and tintypes back to very, very early days, all identified. What a gift to me, to see my ancestors and discover the resemblance they have to current family, or myself. <br /><br />Blessings ~ Eileen @ Star's FaultEileen @ Star's Faulthttp://starsfault.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-39001939733262368092010-06-15T12:50:02.639-04:002010-06-15T12:50:02.639-04:00What stories the people in these pictures could te...What stories the people in these pictures could tell.<br />If only pictures could talk...sigh!<br />Their finery, furniture, etc., are eye candy for moi.<br />Makes me want to say..more,more,more.My name WAS Female, I shit you not!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18261595799137622984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-71853699925592487832010-06-15T11:29:05.763-04:002010-06-15T11:29:05.763-04:00I loved seeing your old family album.

Luckily as a child I was fascinated with them and spent hours with my great-grandma going over them and finding out who each person was. I hope that you might be able to investigate and find some names so that future generations will know the wonderful family they came from. They are some of the most beautiful pics that I have ever seen, what a lucky gal you are!cheryl kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15244577119051528368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-89218681019757897362010-06-14T08:54:39.801-04:002010-06-14T08:54:39.801-04:00Don't you just love albums like that.

Too bad that no one has written who those people are, that is the way things go, but you are right to think them a life. <br />I always felt sorry for a lot of my ancestors. When my greatgrandmother had her photo taken she probably already had lost some of her teeth and she was in mourning. At a certain age all those people were 'always' in mourning. So after who knows how long she posed there was a photo; of a severe looking woman, mouth thightly closed and dressed in black. You couldn't have your photo taken the other year, because they had just a few francs to spend and a photographer was expensive, something you had done a few times or maybe only once in your life. I love these photos and I tend to think that the Americans dressed themself a little cheerier than people in the old world, or should I say over here. Maybe New York was cheerier than the country. Thanks for another great post!LiLi M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14242615020311128940noreply@blogger.com
