Carey Family Photo Album


 
 

Do you know this man?
 
 

How about this couple?

Could this be your grandpa?







The pictures in this online album were taken by my grandfather, John Joseph Carey, between 1900 and 1940. My father left me grandpa's 376 negatives, which I have scanned into an online album. I haven't done any touch-ups or repair on them. They are captured as is. I can identify some of the people and places in the pictures, but not all of them. I've divided them up by type and time period. If you can identify any of the people in the pictures, please contact me at alice@boydhouse.com. If you want copies of any picture, I can send them to you as jpegs. If you have any pictures of John Carey, Mary Harrigan or their children, I'd love to have a copy!
