• Pictures of your Ancestors

My mom inherited my great-grandpa's house, and found a box with a ton of old pictures of my great-great grandparents and my great-great-great grandparents. There's some cool pictures in there, most of them are kinda freaky. Anyway they're a piece of local history (my great-great-great grandparents were among the first people to settle up in the county I live in, in 1884) so I figured I'd share them, if anyone else has some cool old family pictures and feels like sharing, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be interested in seeing them.

He was a Hungarian Jew who [I]supposedly[/I] (we don't know much about him) was in the service of a well-known count. Turns out sometime in the late 1800s he got in a fight and ended up killing his opponent, and he knew he had to leave Hungary cause the police were looking for him, so he and his wife packed up and moved to America, where he died of Influenza like four years later. I barely know anything about my dad's side. I know we're southern Italian (specifically from Basilicata) but the trail goes cold from there. In general we don't keep up with our heritage in my household. :v:
