Alfred Ernest Albert HARRAGIN was a famous Trinidadian cricketer b: 4 May 1877, Port of Spain, Trinidad; died 21 May 1941, Port of Spain. He was also a decorated veteran of the Trinidad Contingent of the West India Regiment in World War I, serving in Egypt and Palestine. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (D.S.O.) for his leadership in Palestine.

I have learned a lot about him, but can't find any mention of his parents. I would be happy if anyone can direct me to church or civil records for Trinidad or if they have any ideas on where else I might search. I'm following this Harragin line as it marries into my own, but this one has me stumped!

This couple ultimately immigrated to America. But, I think by their ages, this must have been taken maybe not long after their marriage in 1867. If some would like to try to clean this up a bit and brighten it I would be most grateful. They immigrated in 1882.

I THINK this is a pretty good photo, if the yellow tint could be removed. Please help. Thank you.

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Mulvaney Family on Cape Cod c: 1930

This is a very tiny format that i wonder might be enlarged suitable for framing (maybe to a 5x7 size). I know it's not the best because the tops of the heads are not totally visible, but it's all I have. Thanks for any improvement/enlargement you might be able to provide.

My Swiss immigrants came to America. Would someone be able to give me a translation of this portion of their ticket? I guess it's in German?? Thank you!

Please redirect me if I should post in a different forum.

Let me try this again after finding the original of my gg grandparents sitting room. My grandfather had posted on the back "Granny Ingham's home, Heaton Lodge. spent many wonderful days there as a child."

I'm hoping this version is workable and look forward to any improvements that will bring it back to life. Fingers crossed it gets accepted !!!

Here's a challenging one. It's very dark, but I can just see some of the furniture and hope it can be restored to life. This was the home of my 2nd g grandparents near Leeds.

Hoping I've figured out how to resize this and that you can bring it to life...it's so faded! Thanks for your time and efforts. Hoping to add it to my family history book.
