HISTORICAL PICTURE PROJECT

The central theme of this Project is to develop a library containing individual family photographs with history &/or comments on standard 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper. This Project was first conceived as a means of preserving & identifying old photographs from my Mother’s various family lines which were given to this family historian by his elderly Aunt. The Project was further enhanced when a like number of old family photographs from my Father’s family lines were discovered at the Venango Co. Historical Society Library in Franklin, Pa.. Currently, the pictures with text fill two large notebooks. The individual pictures record family members &/or groups from the following lines: Sharps, Armagosts, Fisher, Woods, Marvin, Teed, Crowther, Noel, Myers, Baldensperger, Grove, Reid, Munnel, Rice, Hood, Jones, Whitman, Bowman, Shannon, Yarlett, Herring, McAlevey, Beightol, Hazlett/Haslett, Macintosh & Hoover.

It is my desire to increase the number of pictures from the various related family lines which can be enhanced by adding a text recording the individual family history and relationships. I am also interested in sharing copies of the current collection as some of these pictures date back to the era of tintypes and to some of the very first photographs ever taken. One example of the vary oldest pictures is recorded on the Venango Co. Site under the heading of "James Sharp", a Civil War Soldier who was captured at Gettysburg & died of starvation at Andersonville Prison.
