Umm, I have pictures of my 4gr grandfather's family. My family (at that time) was composed of quite a few artists and what the pictures are, are copies of the paintings and drawings made at that time. So don't just automatically disregard these pictures. -----Original Message----- From: Jack O'Connor Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 10:11 AM To: pawestmo@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAWESTMO] Fuller family (Michael Wayne) I once saw a picture in one of the trees that was captioned, "McGuire Settlement 1790". 1790!, who had cameras in 1790.

I think we'd be able to tell a photo from a photo of a painting..... Neither here nor there, just be leery of things you see on Ancestry and do your own research. Don't copy what you see, are not sure of and is obviously dubious... and include it as a part of yours -----Original Message----- From: pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pawestmo-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Judy B Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 10:34 AM To: pawestmo@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PAWESTMO] Fuller family (Michael Wayne) Umm, I have pictures of my 4gr grandfather's family.
