Orphan Photo #98
This looks like schoolchildren outside a schoolhouse with their teacher. Too bad we have no idea where this photo was taken or who’s in it.

Orphan Photo #97
This photo is of an unidentified woman. According to the imprint, it was taken in Hornellsville, New York; the photographer’s name could be Sutton, but it’s very hard to read.

Another Photo Blog
Claudia, who authors Claudia’s Genealogy Blog, started a new blog Found at an Auction. This new blog features old photos, and like me, Claudia is interested in learning more about the people in the photos.

I just love this photo…the hat, the fur boa, and the boots. Sure wish I knew who she was.

What a nice looking young man. Unfortunately, there is no identifying information for this cabinet card.

Orphan Photo #93
This is an unidentified CDV. It looks like someone did some hand-coloring on the ribbon in her hair.
Check This Out!
Thanks to some friends on Facebook, I was just introduced to a new blog with a very interesting concept. It’s called Dear Photograph. The basic idea is to “take a picture of a picture from the past in the present.” You then submit your photo with a caption that starts with “Dear Photograph.” This is a really neat concept…now go on, check it out!
Dear Photograph, I am my mother’s daughter.

Orphan Photo #92
This appears to be a pretty old photo. It is very worn and in bad shape. Too bad we don’t know who these women are.
