Ancestrial Photos
Ancestrial Photo Gallery... (aged at least fifty years)
Welcome to our family treasures...
these photos are truly precious.
This site will be under constant construction...!
Every time you visit and on every page,
Please be sure to hit "F5"
or "refresh" on your browser menu,
to ensure that you see the latest updates...
My apologies for the inconvenience,
but it will be worth it...
if you are interested in our family....:)
Since ours is a large family,
eventually there will be several pages...
one for each family's maiden and surnames.
At that time, this page will display
one representative photo that will link
to that individual's page of photos.
Update notice.... that time has come... :)
Sooner than I expected!
Please read the captions
beneath the photos,
as I am in the process of linking
them to another page
where I will present some
information about them
and additional photos... or ....
look for their name on the menu.... :)
Thanks to the invaluable assistance of
John Duncan and his family history,
"We All Are Margaret Haldane's Bairns,"
I have started transcribing
some of the family trees
and/or histories...
I have the Duncan's of
Australia, Canada and Scotland up for review,
Minus the known current living data,
except where authorization has been granted.
Family members ONLY,
can email Mo at Jezzmo,
if they would like to review the current information...:)
Just click on the appropriate group photos below...
One for the Duncans of Australia
and One for the Duncans of Scotland.
At the moment, we do not have
photos specifically for our Canadian Duncans,
However, both of the other two Duncan Family pages,
have a link at the end of them,
which will take you to the Canadian Duncans...
to whom I apologize for this shortcoming.... :)
As to the photos,
I am displaying as many as I can,
because I just love them!
How they will be presented may change,
but as I am just relearning html,
this is the first go at sharing them!
The future will yield
a more attractive venue... I promise...
I dare not 'play' with the photos,
because it becomes time consuming
and addictive, and will keep me
off track from getting as much information
up as quickly as I can... which is the prime objective...
Later I can spruce things up... :)
If anyone has old family photo's,
at least 50 years old,
and would like to see them
displayed here, please, please,
please contact me,
as I would love to add them.
Thanks to many contributions,
Our Gallery of Ancestors is Growing!
I love them all and
intend to come back at a later date,
to frame all of these so they will be "purdy"....
Until then, I do consider these to be precious,
just the way they are,
and worth the down load time.
I hope you enjoy them, as much as I do..... Mo

Thank you both for sharing!
My Paternal Great Grandfather's brother, John "Jack" Stewart. back of photo says: John Stewart-age around 50 ... so abt. 1910, as John was born in Glasgow, Scotland abt. 1860. He waxed his mustache... :) John moved his family to Canada. This photo was shared with John Duncan, by our Canadian Cousin, Susan LeBlanc. John in turn shared it with Jezzmo.

Robinson...:)
This photo is also shared by Coz John B. Robinson, who believes this is John Stewart's eldest son, Charles Stewart, who also became a Master Tailor, and who immigrated to Salt Lake City, Utah, as a relunctant Mormon, sadly with a drinking problem. He can be traced only for a short time there and then seems to have disappeared.

This is my Great-Great-Grandfather, Mastor Tailor, John Stewart's Family.... this updated image is compliments of our cousin, John B. Robinson, of Chesterfield, England, who believes the photo was taken late 1877 or early 1878, and based on comparsons of other family photos, has deduced they are as follows: 1. Charles Stewart, 2. Christina Stewart , 3. John Stewart , 4. Isabella Stewart , 5.John MacKenzie , 6. Mary MacKenzie Nee Stewart 7. Janet (Jessie) MacKenzie (JR's Grandmother who married Albert Gray) , 8. Stewart MacKenzie , 9. Jessie(Janet) (Smith) Stewart holding baby, John Caldwell Stewart , 10. Edward Archibald Stewart ( Mo's Great Grandfather), Family Heads, 11. John Stewart and 12. Mary Stewart ( nee McMillan). We are still investigating who #13 and #14 might be, but as of May 2007 we are of the mind that they are Annie Archibald (nee Stewart) and Alexander Colburn... Thank you J.R. !!!
