The photograph above was first posted here on The Prism on June 12, 2013 as a Wordless Wednesday offering. The date of the photograph is not known. The photo is of the James Jeffs family of Ontario, Canada. My wife's great grandfather, Dr. William Henry Maines Jeffs, is shown fourth from the left in the back row. His seven siblings and his parents are also shown. James Jeffs and Sarah Maines Jeffs are my wife's great great grandparents.
The date of the photograph below is also unknown, but it was taken many years after the one above. It shows four of the children in the top photograph late in their lives. Francis West Jeffs (second from the left in the back row above) apparently went by "Frank Jeffs" in his later years.

John,
ReplyDeleteI love the top photo and can't imagine the fun of doing the genealogy of that large family. I'm hoping you will do it for your wife!
Great photos, John. I love being able to see the then and later photos. The first photo looks to be an early exploration in "photoshop." Francis and William were definitely added separately!
