Like I was recommending before if you post these to flickr and have your relatives register they can help to comment, flag and tag photos so that you can crowd source the job of working out who is who.

I have a few of my family too that my brother scanned but I don't know how to post them.
My Father was in WW1 and had some pictures made in France and one of him on a gun crew in Hattie in 1916...

But yours seem in such good condition...

They've been kept well. A little contrast enhancement and some color tweaking is all I'm doing to them.

She passed in 1969- she was 93 when she died. I estimate from that, this portrait was done about 1890 or thereabouts.
