My cousin found these pictures of my great-great grandfather, General Jose de la Luz Blanco

he's on the far left

He can also be seen here, marked #13, in this group photo with the infamous Pancho Villa

I welcome anyone to post cool old pictures of their ancestors btw, I just thought it was cool to start a thread with something I discovered about my ancestry

That is so cool.

I don't have any pictures of my ancestors. My uncle does a lot of family trees and he has a massive collection of old photos from my family.

I don't have a lot of pics out here with me.. Most of mine are back home at my moms. I just have a couple of my dad in the army on my laptop... If I can get to our scanner I might be able to scan a couple of my maternal grandfather...

 

[jassilem]

I was wrong, I only have one pic of dad on here...

Here it is.. Dad was 20 at the time.. In Korea.

Left-my grandfather. Right-my great-uncle.



My great-grandfathers brother and wife



I ended up with a lot of scanned letters, newspaper articles, and documents from a distant cousin of mine.

Oh cool! If I had known about this thread last week when I was at my parents' I would have scanned some of my mom's pics of her grandparents when they lived in Mexico. I think there are also pics of my dad's grandparents from Russia kicking around.
