Post pictures of your ancestors

[Gray Fox]

I'll get it started with a few of mine. All of my family comes from the hills of Eastern Kentucky. The first image is of my great Grandmother during her baptism. The second is my great, great Grandmother at the funeral of her Mother. The third is of the aforementioned great grandmother and great, great grandmothers family.

Interesting.  I have Caudill's in my tree from Letcher County as well.  Related through marriage, though.  Abel Caudill born 1843, Letcher County, and his wife Mary Ann Caudill, had a son, Samuel McKee Caudill who married Lucinda A. Blair.  Lucinda's mother was a Nickell from Morgan County, Kentucky.  My great great great grandmother was a Nickell.

Cool thread, I will start with my profile pic.
The Aguiar family is a branch of my maternal family, it can be traced back to 1590 to Vicente Gonçalves de Aguiar, probably born in the distric of Vila Pouca de Aguiar, North region of Portugal. 
From there, they stablished in the state of São Paulo, which they are until this day. Started as Bandeirantes the pioneer explorer of Brazilian backlands they had all kinds of professions and adventures, including in Langsdorff expediction where one of them provided a boat for the exploration back in 1820s. 
They had all kinds of ups and downs lots of riches and plenty of generations in poverty, yet, they succeeded and because of all this effort I'm here talking to you now. 
The man in my profile picture is my grandfather's cousin, and they gave me one of my first toys ever, a wooden swing. He got this baddass look but he was very gentle and polite just like my grandfather, who I miss a lot.
You can see here his brother, sister, mother, father, cousin, everyone gathered in a church. It is always cool to look at our ancestors and refreshing to see that we don't difer much in looks. If you don't have pictures of your ancestors, take a look in the mirror, cause you have a little bit of everyone in you.

They do seem to have been quite a prolific branch! I posted these photos elsewhere and discovered that a person I had gone all through school with was related to them too.

My Grandfather. He was originally from Jackson county, Kentucky. He owned/operated a gas station when he moved to Pulaski county. The anvil he's lifting weighed 80 pounds and he had a running bet with his customers that no one could lift it. Dad told me he had plough boy strength, because they were too poor to afford a mule
