I obtained another box full of photos from my grandfather, almost all of which were not labeled. The box was labeled "Photos from Joseph Livingston." Joseph was the husband of my grandfather's aunt, Mercie Ella Ivory.

I have gone through all of these photos, but I do not recognize people, nor am I sure they are any of my ancestors. Going through the photos, it looks like many of them could be friends of Joseph and Ella, or family of Joseph's.

I put a watermark on these photos so people can't easily steal them from this site and reuse them, whether that be in print or digital, genealogy presentations, etc. I spent a lot of time scanning these photos and uploading them onto this site. 

My main purpose to scan and post these photos is to hopefully find someone, or may people, who can identify who these people are. As far as I can tell, they are not directly related to me. I would love to find descendants of these people and provide them with either the physical photo (they are in my cousin's possession) or provide them with a high-quality digital copy.

Even the Legal Genealogist agrees that placing a watermark on photos like this is "perfectly legal - and yes, it is fair."

If you happen to find this page and you are able to identify individuals in any of these photos, please contact me! Even if you are not related to the person, but you absolutely love one of the photos, let me know. As with many things, if you ask nicely I am sure I'd be more than happy to share a non-watermarked image with you.
