I have genealogical information about that family that came from their very hand. If you are a relative, then I have even better news for you. The information came in a remarkable antique photo album from the Rogers/Daley family. I am Robert D. King and in my travels, I see family photos lost in antique stores and for sale on ebay. I think that is sad knowing that there are family tree researchers and descendants, that would treasure those photos. So I have decided to try and do something about it by returning as many as I can to their rightful families. So I buy photos with names and dates or places on them and list them on my webpage, so descendants of these lost souls can find them and bring them home. The thousands of photographs are mostly from the 1800's and include Tintypes, Daguerreotypes, Cabinet Cards, Carte-de-visites, Personal Picture Postcards, Photo Albums and Yearbooks. Recently I located James Daley & Sarah Hoag Weeks' Family Photo Album from Oberlin, Ohio This brown and gold heirloom still has the manmade pearl on the latch. This Civil War Era album is 4 inches by 5.5 inches and is stuffed with family portraits 3 inches thick. It is the best documented family album that I have ever come across. It contains twenty-eight studio portrait C.D.V. photographs, two tintypes and a little drawing of a girl and her cats. Amazingly only one of the photos is not identified. It is of a boy and girl in a photograph from Norwalk, Ohio. But every other photograph is not only identified on the album but most have the name confirmed on the back of the photo. Several of the photos have Civil War tax stamps on the back. The names written on the photos and in the album are: Thomas Weeks in a photograph from New York, New York Mrs. Thomas Weeks in a photograph from New York, New York James Daley Jr. in a photograph from Wellington, Ohio Sarah H. Weeks Daley in a photograph from Wellington, Ohio Lydia Weeks Wright in a photograph from New York, New York George W. McDonald in a photograph from Wellington, Ohio Henry Weeks in an 1866 photograph from New York, New York Mrs. Henry Weeks ? in a photograph from Xenia, Ohio Eli Graves in a photograph from Oberlin, Ohio Mary E.
