Aren't family treasures wonderful? A few days ago hubs resurrected dozens of photos from the late 1800s, early 1900s that were found in his great aunt's house after her demise.
He can identify many of the people, but there are dozens of photographs (I haven't counted them all yet) and probably half of those are of people not known to him. We'll start posting these photos here on
Olive Tree Genealogy blog in hopes descendants will spot an ancestor. Please let us know if you do.
The great aunt who owned these photos was an Elgie from the St. Mary's Ontario area, whose mother was a Facey. Extended family members in the photographs are from the Facey and Wilford families.
These two photos are of hubs' great-grandmother Mary Louise Facey. She was born in 1882 in W. Nissouri Township, Middlesex County Ontario to parents Samuel Facey and Margaret Wilford. Mary Louise married William Elgie and they settled in St. Mary's, Blanchard Township, Perth County.
