A photograph is a glimpse into the past
Amy Johnson Crow and her #52ancestor challenge have us picking a favorite image this week.
This is not an easy task because I have a wide range of photographs from various family lines. I decided to pick from the pictures I have of unknown people.
This image is a tintype, without a doubt I believe it was taken in Quebec because of the clothing. I have calculated the date of the image to be anywhere from 1870-1900. I cannot attribute it to any family members, but believe it is from the Norton or Jeffery families who lived in Montreal and Quebec City. The children are absolutely adorable.
Unknown family members, likely the Norton/Jeffery family who lived in Quebec City and Montreal.
I couldn’t help but add this picture, also a tintype. I believe it to be the same boy as in the above picture.
If you have a clue about who these children are or the dates of the tintypes I would love to hear from you.
