This is an amazing photo. Do you know if this photo was taken in 1903 or the 1920s? I see two dates?

Thank you so much for putting such a wonderful statement about my grandfather . He also used his talent to help others in his community . He helped so many young men to get fit and how important it is . He even helped a young man with Cerebral palsy to walk back in the days when they said he would never walk . You will never know how special this is to me and my family . Thank you all for your wonderful comments . God Bless, Becky Christian ( John's Granddaughter )

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
