Yes, there were few if any photos in the newspaper- i actually have a troy record from 100 or more years ago and its all straight print . The only difference is the ads which might have a drawing or two. I know ancestor .com features pictures of peoples ancestors but having it from Troy seems like a great idea.

I so much enjoy the snippets from the newspaper going back to the news 100 years ago. It is a real eye opener into what our ancestors lives were like on a daily basis. I notice that the paper prints a news article from 100 years ago, but the photos are mostly from 50-60 years ago. Is it because there are no photos available in the newspapers of 100 years ago? I would so like to have knows who was in photographs from that era. Perhaps we could find an edition that contained a photo of ancestors we have no other pictures of and thereby solicit the newspaper or library, whoever houses the past editions for copies.

I am assuming the photos that ancestors.com's photos were donated by family members?? How else would they get photos?
