The various fonts of family knowledge have died, so there's no one to ask any more. Fights are thus unlikely :-) It's a pity that people don't write details on the back when they get their images for the first time. Incidentally, one of the photos we have has an elegant art nouveau cover that says "De Youngs" who were based on Broadway in New York and whose major claim to fame as photographers was the famous shot of Harry Longabaugh and Etta Place. Longabaugh was better known as the Sundance Kid. Douglas On 03/01/2019 00:42, Jim Nichols wrote: > Douglas, in pursuit of family genealogy, I also have accumulated some > older images.
