Oldest person in your tree that you have a photo of?
Who's the oldest person in your tree that you have a picture of?

No, I can't beat that. The oldest person in my tree is Ann Smith, 1800-1900 and I have a couple of photos of her probably taken around 1890, as her husband had photos taken at the same time and he died in 1893.
I also have a few photos of people born before 1800, taken in the 1860s and 1870s and a few early photos, taken in the 1850s, but they are of younger people. Some are posted on the Family Photos board on this site: http://www.genealogistsforum.co.uk/F...splay.php?f=35

102 is going to take some beating.
Not the oldest, but I have one of the tallest, Fred Kempster. His photos can be found on Google. Fred is my 2nd cousin 2x removed. |

I think I can probably win the prize on this one, although the lady isn't a very close relation, and I never met her: Dorothy Sarah Baldwin, my 4th cousin once removed, who died in 2014, just a few weeks before her 112th birthday.
This photo was taken on her 109th birthday: https://stories.swns.com/news/britai..._baldwin_01-1/ |
