Member and Founder Pam Marks is a person who loves to rescue old photos and reunite them with their families. She found this gem of a photo in an antique shop in Seattle, WA. The only clue is what was written on the back: "Ed Snyder's House 923 10th St. NW., Canton Ohio...4th of July..when still Americans, or allowed to be"
We have an address, a last name, and I assume "Ed" would be "Edward". If we can figure out an approximate date perhaps the census records could help? Please leave a comment if you have any suggestions on how to gather additional information so Pam can reunite this photo.

Becky Prior Ewen Both comments are helpful - the hemlines say around 1900 - 1905 to me?

Pam Kroetsch I figure the one on the left is Myra and the other is Jessie...the little one is probably Ruth, the oldest...guessing that because the other 2 aren't in the picture.

The hemlines seem early 1920s when hems no longer reached all the way to the floor, and the younger woman's hairstyle is very much like the hairstyles of that same period.
And, as commented elsewhere, the flag had 48 stars. That was done in 1912, so the photo can't possibly be any earlier than 1912.

My life-time love of geneology and old photos led to the concept of Ancientfaces back in 1999....through the site I have made contact with previously unknown cousins in Australia, Tasmania, England, Scotland and various states in the US, broadening and enriching my family stories, photos and family relationships.
The names I am researching resided in and/or settled the following areas: South Wales; Scotland; Northern Ireland; Normandy; Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands; Virginia; West Virginia, Kentucky, Kansas, Idaho and Washington state; first wave of settlers in the Hudson River & Mohawk River Vallies; founding fathers of New Haven, Middlesex and New London Counties, CT, along with Suffolk, Norfolk & Middlesex Counties in MA; first wave of settlers to Quebec and Ontario, Canada. Also, I am a member of the Mayflower Society after tracing my maternal side to John Billington, a Mayflower passenger ( with his family) who settled in Plymouth , and signed, the Mayflower compact.
