I’m wondering if the gentlemen on the left in each photo are the same person.
The first photo is of my 2nd great grandparents, Nelson and Louisa Harris. It is the only picture of have of him, and it’s not a very good one. The second photo shows my great grandfather, Orville Harris, seated on the right. I’m wondering if the other gentleman is Nelson, who is Orville’s father. They definitely have similar cheek bones.
What do you think?
hmm, but the noses are very different. So hard to be a detective with these photos huh?
I would not bet against it… pretty similar… 😉
I’d say no. The ears are different. The right ear on the man below sticks out more than on the man above. Also, the noses are different. Isn’t there something with the new Picasa that will compare and recognize faces that are similar?
The 1850 census of Manitowoc, Manitowoc, WI gives Louisa’s name as Louisa Ann. Are you sure her name was Louisa Marie?
Yes.
