Lost Faces: Orphan Photos

Many of the photos I rescue are not identified. I call these orphan photographs. Even though I don't know who the people are in the photos, they could be someone's ancestor. For that reason, I'm publishing the orphan photos here on Olive Tree Genealogy's Lost Faces

If you see an orphan photo you recognize, please drop me a line at olivetreegenealogyATgmail.com (Change the AT to @ before sending)

Orphan Photos #1

Two 6th plate tintypes 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" each, in a double gutta percha daguerreotype case. I found them in an antique store in Cambridge Ontario in 2011. Usually in a double case, the photos inside are of husband and wife or two young siblings. My hunch is that these are husband and wife.

Before I remove photographs from an antique album, I photograph the album covers and inside pages in its intact and original form. That way I can place the photos back or, if the album itself cannot be saved, I have a record of the original placement of the photos. This can be a good clue for identifying the subjects.
