"Thompson Sister's"
The lady on the right has spectacles which appear to not have the lens totally framed.
The background to the pictures was typical in early studio pictures: most common pre WW1.
"sister's" should not have possessive (').
My honest guess is that this photo' is a recent old 'fake' . The spectacles give the earliest date as possibly 1955-60.
Nice analysis Derek! Kat, the member who added this photo, is a real wonderful person. She saved this photo and over a hundred like it from being tossed out. These are not her relatives. She's trying hard to reunite these photos with their families. If we can identify even one person in these photos then we can identify the rest! Thank you so much.
That is interesting! I put all of the photos away in a cool dry place for the eventual day someone contacts me and says "that's my family!" but now I'm tempted to pull them out and see if I can find any more clues.
I'm interested in the dark hair lady .. the skinny one. With maybe the glasses on?? To the right. With the bracelet on. Behind the little girl with blonde hair
When I first seen this? It looked like my mom. The lady with the bracket on her wrist. She looks like my mom. The girl in the back has her hand on the shoulder. ( The one that looks like glasses on ) ❤️ pretty picture though

Portrait photographs and paintings of our loved ones and ancestors.
Before photos we had paintings of family members - most usually these were reserved for the well off. The era of modern photography began with the daguerreotype, in 1839. Since the advent of photogr...
I am fascinated by old photographs, especially those of my ancestors and ones that show the history of cities I've visited (plus World's Fair photos). Old photographs separated from people who want them seem to be attracted to me which is good if I can find those people but also inconvenient because this is not an easy task.

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.
