Identification

Submitted By

This young lady is an unidentified ancestor of Camille Evans.

Possible family names: Shoaf, Graves, Ballard, Joseph, Johnson or McCreight.

Can you identify her?

We don't know for certain if these little girls are sisters as they are unidentified. Their dresses and little bob haircuts tell us this photo dates from the 1920's. Do you think the elder girl looks like the same girl in the "Brothers & Sisters" photo below, front row left side??

Possible family names are: Shoaf, Graves, Ballard, Joseph, Johnson or McCreight.

This young mystery woman looks as if she may have red hair ... what do you think? She's wearing a large cross around her neck and a ring on her finger. The dress with the big sailor collar and the large bow in her hair indicate she's probably a young lady in her teen years. Maybe this is a high school graduation photograph.

Possible family names: Shoaf, Graves, Ballard, Joseph, Johnson or McCreight.

Nothing is known of this pretty young lady. She's wearing what appears to be a white dress, so perhaps this is a high school graduation photograph. Could she possibly be in the photo of the children below, front row right side, at a younger age??

Possible family names: Shoaf, Graves, Ballard, Joseph, Johnson or McCreight.

The two young ladies in the photo on the left appear to be sisters, and due to their dresses and hairstyle I would estimate this photograph was taken between 1910-1915. The children in the photograph on the right might all be siblings or perhaps some cousins included. Due to their outfits, I would estimate the date of this photograph to be 1915-1920.

Possible family names: Shoaf, Graves, Ballard, Joseph, Johnson or McCreight.

It appears that this young man is holding a scroll indicating this may have been a graduation photograph. He's wearing short pants and looks quite young, so he may have just graduated from elementary school. Is it possible that he is in the photo of the children above front row center at a younger age??

Possible family names: Shoaf, Graves, Ballard, Joseph, Johnson or McCreight.
