I found a copy of an old photo (like, 1800s black and white photo), unlabeled in a stack of family photos.

Any idea how to figure out who these people are if other family members don't know?

Based on the dress styles, I want to pin the date around 1900-1910.




Edit: Nevermind, I asked Jeni and turns out it's my adopted Great-Great Grandparents. That's Great-Grandpa Ray on the second to the left, standing up. He died just a few years ago and is the one that's helped me out so much with college funds.

The youngest girl next to the Dad in the center is Aunt Lil. She died when I was around 10; I remember everyone saying how she had the best complexion in the family XD I still have a silver locket I received from her when I was 6/7.

She doesn't know who those other people are though, except she suspects that the girl sitting next to the Mom in the center is the one that died young. She does look a little sickly in the photo.

Wow. And I actually knew these people, in this century-old photo. It's crazy to think about, in a way.
