Unidentified Photos
Likely Greeney Related
"Name that Person"
These photos
are likely related to the Greeney Family from Williamson County
Illinois.
There might also be members of the
Culbreath or Culbreth Families,
Clarida or Clariday Families, or Burns Families with ties to the same
area.
Culbreath's were present in the
area in 1839
Photo Number 1 was possibly taken
during the 1920s-30s and appears to
contain some of the same people as Photo Number 2. I've tried to
match the people in the two photos in the head shot section following.
(These may take a bit to load, they
are large for clarity.)
Can you
help identify anyone shown?
The following photo
quality is not the best so they have been enlarge. Yet all the
individual facial details may not be apparent.
Note:
- This branch of the
Greeney family
often have cleft chins.
- Children may have
straight fine hair, but as adults thick and
curly.
- Men may bald
early.
- Thick legs and
ankles may also be present - note Photo #2.
- Family members
sometimes are called by their middle names rather than their given
first names.
Photo #1 - Name the people, when and
where it was taken. Could it have been at a Family Reunion?
(Could these be couples?)
Notice the old car in the right
back ground.
