    3. My BOSTON family of Mississippi suffered heavily in the Civil War, and afterward became poor Oklahoma/Texas sharecroppers. We have very, very few photos. I have one "mystery" photo I was hoping someone could help me put a date on. It appears considerable older than the others I own, and seems to be "fancier" than most of our pics. Would you help me date this photo of two children: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=1005600&a=10467106&p=52405921&f=0 (please note the two-line URL) Most of our family photos are like this shot from 1907: http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=1005600&a=10467106&p=52405934&f=0 (please note two-line URL) ... all dirty faces, bare feet, and sharecropper sack dresses. The frilly white dresses and beautiful curly, ribboned hair of the previous pic is a sharp contrast. I think the first pic may be of an earlier time - it is mounted on a stiff black card and is quite damaged. The only identification is our family name "Boston" penciled on the back. And these babies "look" like our babies. Any advice would be appreciated!!! ~Julie in Oklahoma http://www.kindredclans.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
