I believe the best way to handle pictures on ebay is to first try to decide if the person that is bidding is a Sisson or Sisson related. If that can not be determined, I defer the bidding to Carol if she wishes to bid on them. If she does not or is not in a financial position to buy them, then some one of us needs to pick up the slack, buy them and either donate them or copies of them to the Sisson Website. I would be willing to buy them if Carol can not or does not wish to purchase them at this time. I too see a tremendous amount of favor to my dad, my brother, and myself in 6 or 7 of these pictures. Edgar Allan Sisson in these pictures looks very much like myself and there is another picture of someone with a beard that looks enough like me when I had a beard that I had to do a double take. As I told Carol in a private email, this strengthens my belief that Edward Octavious Sisson and his ancestors are related to Richard, and I believe that possibly Richard came from either Durham, Northumberland, counties of England or possibly from across the line in Scotland. This is only my belief and I have nothing to prove it, but unless something changes , I am almost convinced of it. Larry L. Sisson

Hi, Larry, and Sisson readers, Yes, let me share with you the cost of buying them. I'll split it with you. I doubt any are related to me, but I see a number from San Francisco, so it should not be difficult to speculate with some degree of reliability who they are. There were a few Sissons here in San Francisco. So bid, and let me know what I owe for the good of the cause.
