About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

This is directed to the person who posted the photo of Jennie Quigley, on the off-chance that you may actually be someone who is in the family-tree of this family, and therefore may be able to help with my own family-tree research.
Jennie Quigley is not on my direct-line, but her mother Jane Quiigley (born 1821) nee KERR is a sister to my
GG-grandfather James KERR (1816), and I am trying to find out more abouts his roots which are in Ireland.
If you know about this family, (or if not, but you have the contact details of the person from whom you got the photo if THEY are from this family-line), then I'm hoping
you'll get in contact.

That is a seriously great hairdo there. I wonder how long her hair was when it was down?
