I would appreciate it if someone could convert this negative so I can try to identify the subjects.

Thanks

Hello,

I have inverted it but can't do much more - don't have the skills. 

Hope someone else will.   :)  I hope this much helps a little.

Wiggy     :)

Done some more playing and have re posted the photo - still not up to others, but I am marginally happier.

Saying I can't post - weird - it is registering well under 500kbs   189 in fact.

First of all, by accident or design, I think that the composition of this photograph is exquisite. I don't like singling out any particular restore as everything is subjective but in this case, it is Pats version that speaks to me. With a little more 'spotting' it would look like an impressionist painting and I think that, in this case, I would prefer this to a sharp, in focus regular print.

Edit to add.... I should like to see what MartynS made of this.... I think its right up his alley!

I love the magic you folks do!  Through this I can identify my grandmother and two of my aunts and a cousin.  From there I might be able to figure out the rest.

Thank you!
