AncientFaces Success Stories - a small sample
Dan Dan the family history man
We have received a much clearer photo of Captain Grant from his Son.
The picture we put in [AncientFaces] is an old yellowed newspaper
photo. . . Thank You Ancient Faces. My long lost Aunt is now 86 years
old and her Son and I are talking by phone and e-mails. Captain Grant
was his Father and died in France in 1944 and is buried there. By
posting pictures of the visit to his gravesite - we connected through
one of his brothers. Amazing that our prayers have been answered."

"I have previously submitted several pictures of my grandfather
August Zemidat. I have tried for many years to find anyone with that
name, and I have searched many genealogy web sites to no avail.
Recently I was contacted by someone who saw my pictures on AncientFaces
who may well be a cousin. She also provided me with information that
seems to indicate her grandparents were my grandfather's siblings.
Considering the many years I have been searching for the name Zemidat,
I find this is absolutely amazing that I have finally found a family
member. Thank you AncientFaces."

- Thanks so much, I love it .

"I love your site, a while back I saw a site that you had labeled
Garcia surname pictures. At the time I didn't have all my family
facts for my research. Anyway, I wandered into your site just to check
it out and now ONE YEAR LATER I received a picture from an eighty seven
year old aunt and guess what? - You had this very same picture on your
site!! (They were my great aunts and my great-grandmother!)."
-Angela Macias
"What a nice place for a family news/history you all have made
possible. Presently I am on two family places at Yahoo for free, but I
have suggested to our family that we switch to Ancient Faces. Looks so
much more classical and no stupid ads. For so little $ a year that is
very nice. Hope to be signing up for a place soon. Thank you."

"For 13 years, I have been searching for my grandmother's missing
sister. She just disappeared from the family in the 1930s without a
trace. No one ever knew where or when she died or where she was
buried. My years of searching have just run into dead ends, so I had
given up.
Today, out-of-the-blue, a young lady called me and said that she had
seen a photograph on Ancient Faces and one of the women in the photo
was her grandmother! Little did I know that she had left a small child
behind when she died so young of TB.
You can imagine our shock and excitement at finding each other and a
whole new family that we never knew existed. We only live one state
away from each other and very soon plan to have all family members meet
to share our sides of "the story" and of course, many, many more
pictures.
Ancient Faces...... without you, this family may never have been
complete and Aunt Grace would have been lost to us forever. . .I hope
you realize what a valuable service you provide and how grateful we are
to have found you."

"Due to AncientFaces my [previous] mystery photo I now believe to be
Jemima Paulhamus Covert taken around 1800."

"This site is awesome!! Thank You!! I love old pictures. I love
trying to help other people find their families. I soon will have
photos posted!! I could spend all night here!!"
-Nancy Travisano
"Thank you for creating this site. I got it quite by accident, but
have been looking at it for about 3 hours now. I am neglecting my
email, it is really late and I am about to fall asleep, but just could
not seem to stop looking. I love this type of site. Maybe I will find
something this time. Thanks again.."
