Family Photos On-Line

Introduction and Instruction

In my travels, I see family photos lost in antique stores. I think this is sad and I feel a sense of obligation to try and return them to their rightful families. So, I have set up this website to do just that. All of the photos I buy have names and dates or places on them. They include Tintypes, Daguerreotypes, Cabinet Cards, Carte-de-visites, Personal Picture Postcards, Photo Albums and Yearbooks.

On Page 2 there is an index of all of the surnames listed.
If you find your surname listed, then go on to the other pages and see if the first name or location matches as well. The photos are divided up this way:

+Individual Photographs - These are photographs which have only one surname listed. Pages 3 thru 12.

+ Couples Photographs - These are married couples. You can find them on page 13.

+ Family Photographs - These have two or more members of the same family. You can find them on page 14.

+Maiden Name/Married Name - where two surnames are listed. Page 15

+Group Photos - where more than one surname is listed. Page 16.

+Classmates Photos - School Days photographs can be found on Page 17.

+Family Groups - First Half - multiple photographs of one family. Page 18.

+Family Groups - Second Half - multiple photographs of one family. Page 19.

+Photo Albums - where multiple surnames are listed. Page 20.

Yearbooks- where surnames are too numerous to be listed. Page 21

Customer's Comments - Hundreds of satisfied customers. Page 22

I hope I can help you locate a lost loved one.

But keep in mind two things:
The names are copied as handwritten on the photo.
So the spelling may be Very, Very wrong.
So consider all near misses as a possible hit.
And
The location is where the picture was taken.
The person may not have lived in the location given
but had a photo taken while visiting there.
The photo that you desire
could be listed in any of the catagories.
So use your FIND option (under edit on your toolbar) on each page or read all the way
through all pages before you give up hope.

I started this project so anyone could see and copy their ancestor's photos.
But almost everyone was more interested in purchasing the photographs.
Then I lost the ability to post any photos. So viewing them is no longer an option.
If you are interested in purchasing the photograph, please go to Page 24.

If the photo is a Daguerreotype, a Sepia Print from
Daguerreotype or a Tin Type it will be labeled.
If not labeled, then it is a Sepia tone Carte-de-Visites or a Cabinet Photo.
Only a few of the photos are B&W paper from the 1900's.
Everything else is from the last half of the 1800's.

I have not included where I found these photos
because I believe that it is irrelevant.
The vast majority of the photographs
came from antique stores in Arizona.
But that doesn't mean much either since
people come from all over to retire here and the
antique stores buy from all over the country.
