Have you found the identity of the man in the pictures? It saddens me that these pictures aren't with family members.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this CG Officer's family has any of these photographs.
ReplyDeleteI actually do know the identity of the man, I purchased a large lot from an auction house in the Albany, NY area a few months back. The man had passed away, and there were no living relatives to claim any of his belongings, so the books went to auction and then to me.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! Can't wait until I find books filled with old pictures. I know I will. I'm bound to.

What wonderful pictures. I'm glad they went to you instead of someone who would have just thrown them away.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your blog! So interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to help you link photos such as these on Ancestry. While he may not have any living relatives, he may have some more distant ones who would love to add these to their family tree. Feel free to contact me if you're interested.
