<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bakersgma, post: 190608, member: 59&quot;]I recently connected with a man in New England who is a collector (and sometime dealer) of old photos who had posted a large number of them (from a single album he had purchased at auction) on Ancestry. They popped up because they were attached to people in his family tree who are also on mine - and fairly close relatives of whom I have only 1 picture, but in many cases none!</p><p><br /></p><p>When asked about our family connection, it seems that he believes that his earliest &quot;American immigrant&quot; ancestor of a particular surname was the brother of my earliest documented ancestor of the same surname. Now, I think it is highly unlikely, given a variety of factors, but I&#039;m not going to argue the point. I&#039;m hoping that he will agree to have copies of some of them made for me so I will have more than the digital ones for posterity. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
