My Granny’s Photo Project Launch

Today I am launching my “Granny’s Photo Project” and invite you to join.

If you are interested and want to participate this is how the project will work.

I am adding family photos I found in Granny’s boxes. Many of these are negatives I’ve processed and uploaded.

My Granny was notorious for writing on the back of her photos to help us identify who is in the pictures. These photos do not have that writing since they are from negatives. I’m hoping together we can identify who are in the pictures.

So, I will randomly add photos with a link to a larger view of the picture. If you can help us please comment your thoughts and suggestions. This will help us work together to solve the mysteries.

I will try my best to sort the photos by surname and/or family group. Most of these pictures are from Southeast West Virginia as well as parts of Virginia. The surnames include Hargis, Vaughn (Vaughan), Fleenor, Rutherford, Midkiff, Mullins, Craddock, Fraysier (Frazier), Price, Davis, and more. The counties in West Virginia include Lincoln, Logan, Cabell, Wayne, and more. The Virginia counties include Lee, Scott, Washington, Russell, Wythe, and more. There are a few Kentucky counties as well.

Once a photo has been identified I will update the page with the information.

Thank you for helping and joining the fun!

To get started, here are a few photos that need identified. I will label them to help with discussions.
