This feels kind of sad to me. I have boxes of those photos and I wish I knew more about those people – who were my ancestors. Strangers and yet I carry their genes.

These faces from the past are haunting. Even though they are strangers, I feel that I should know them…

This is great. I’ve been meeting family ‘strangers’ via genealogy.
Excellent haiku on strangers

You could still make up stories–and shock everyone who knows your ancestors! 🙂
I am old enough to actually know and remember folks from 1920! But I wish I knew more about them, too..
Yes that was intriguing 🙂
There but for the course of time are we.
This would be a great intro to a novel 🙂
So true to life. I’ve been bemused by such portraits…
