My grandmother told me when we went through some of her photographs in the 1980s. Grandma might not even have known the names of all the people in the photograph, just who they were as a group. Alfred Rampley was Grandpa&#8217;s first cousin and I doubt if Grandma ever met them. It&#8217;s also possible she surmised who they were when we saw the studio&#8217;s stamp on the back that indicated where the photo was taken. That was the only family we had in Alabama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you know anything about the handwriting or identification of the photograph beyond the names, include that in your image of the photo.
