These two photographs are clearly of the same family, but until a few years ago they were unidentified. They almost look like they were taken at the same sitting. The parents and the baby seem to be dressed identically, but the children are dressed differently and look a little taller in the second photo. .
In the summer of 2011, I noticed that the family profile (father, mother, son, 3 daughters, baby) fit the profile of a family in my family tree. Interestingly, I had made contact via Find A Grave with a descendant of the parents in the family. Although she had no other photographs of the couple, the older boy bears a resemblance to her grandfather. Together, we felt assured that we had identified the family in the photograph.
