Sepia Saturday: Men and More Mystery Photo Searching To Identify

Sepia Saturday: Men and More this was a post a couple of weeks ago. I had to work that weekend and did not get out my picture. Tonight I want to show a picture of a man in our family.  It is an unknown man in my family.


This picture was found in my mother's family pictures but is unidentified.  He is a handsome man dressed in what I think is clothing of working at a train station. He has a great hat and on his pants is a badge hanging.
He has a great pose and resembles my great great uncle George but is not uncle George.  But who is this mystery man.  He resembles the Day family line so  I will search among the Day's to see if I can find some male that work at the Great Northern railroad some time in the mid 1990's.


I am also including a picture of George Day. Do you see a resemblance?

Thanks for stopping by Grace

Wisdom Wednesday Tip - Identify Those Pictures

Wisdom Wednesday Tip... Please take time and identify your photos. Don't leave your family with unknown photos.

Here are three wonderful vintage photos in my family photo collection. I have no idea who these people are.

Are they on my mother's side or my father's side. I can not even guess that much for sure.

First picture is probably on my mother's side of the family because it is marked Sparta Wisconsin. My father's mother's family was in Wisconsin but not for long.


I am dating it around 1900 because of the dress and hair. The back is marked.

Next picture is of an adorable little barefoot girl. I have no idea the time period of this picture. Maybe early 1900's to 1930's.


Last photo is a real photo postcard of mother and child. Sometime between 1907 to 1914 because of divided back of the post card.



I need to put them next to other family photos to see if I can get any hints. I need to learn more about dating photos from the clothing being worn.

 I am nowhere  done searching for my roots. For my missing family members.  So many to fine so little time.  This has been a hard few years ...
