By the time most people begin to get curious about their ancestory, there is no one left to fill them in on those that have gone before us. I so adore the old pictures and do have a lot of some of my ancestors. Still wish I had asked a lot more questions of my mom and dad. Great pictures you have there.

No, ...Thanks Alan. I appreciate your appreciating.<br /><br />No, I know it's not the Queen Mum, but after owning this photo for so many decades, returning to it over and over again wondering why I have two of them and why they're in with my grandmother's photos, I suddenly thought, "Well, I'm not related to these people. So who the heck are they?" It's such a fine real photo post card that I thought it might have been someone of importance. Plus they're just such wonderful looking cast.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-3386123458286941662011-04-02T20:23:05.851-11:002011-04-02T20:23:05.851-11:00As always I find I am drawn in by the faces, searc...As always I find I am drawn in by the faces, searching in each one of them for something they are saying about themselves and their lives. This is the fascination of old photographs and a fascination that is wonderfully illustrated by all the images you feature on your blog. As for your Scottish photograph : upper crust they may be but I suspect not upper crust enough for them to be who you suspect them of being.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-76205031178121100922011-04-02T20:00:11.906-11:002011-04-02T20:00:11.906-11:00An interesting progression of photographs.

A mystery begins to unfold because Alfred seems to have been adopted by a Kallman because his father's last name is different, if what I found online is the right Alfred.

I've never heard the name Kallman, but I'll check at the Historical Society. A lot of people came and went from the early 1860's to about 1920 that were involved in mining one way or another.MrCachethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17380421021822593083noreply@blogger.com
