Family pictures, no matter who or what they are can give us an insight to the past. The backgrounds of photos especially give us a great glimpse to once was. Photographic images serve as powerful records of people, events, and places. They evoke ideas or emotions in ways that words alone cannot.
The Carleton Place and Beckwith Heritage Museum is always looking for photos for their archives to help keep the past of Carleton Place alive.
Lanark Archives looks for information to research family roots and to learn more about where their ancestors lived. Local historians and genealogists, families, church groups and school children use the Archives.
Every picture tells a story
The following is a few pictures from the gallery of old photographs of the McDonald family.
Every research project has a starting point, and in this case, that point begins with Alfred McDonald and his wife Esther Lancaster. On their website, you’ll learn more about their story and other related branches of the family.
