Old Ventress and Norwood Family Photos

Old Photos of the Ventress and Norwood Families

Back to Main Photo Page

I scanned my mother's (Harriet Elizabeth Ventress Blilie) family photos, beginning in September 2009.

Mainly these come from photo albums that belonged to her mother. I've asked her to try to get the other

family photos that her brother and sister have.

On most of these, I have used Photoshop to restore the image quality. (Some were quite damaged or

had very thin/faded images.) More to come soon, when my Mom finds more pictures or receives them

from her brother and sister.
