Terri's Main Genealogy Page
Updated: July 08, 2006
These pictures were scanned from an old family photo album once owned by my Grandfather, Henry Silvernail, and then by my father, Robert Silvernail. The photos haven't been cropped or altered in any way, so they're almost identical to the originals.
I've been able to identify many of the photos from the inscriptions Grandpa made under each picture. However, some of them are still unknown.
If you have information about any of these pictures please send me an e-mail to terri_weispfenning@hotmail.com.
