I have a family album that dates back to the 1800s and into the mid 1900s. Most are photos from Louisiana and Kentucky.

Did people arrange their photos in any certain order back then?

If so knowing this would go a long way toward identifying some of the people.

The first page is a wedding photo of my great grandmother (Lelia) and ggrandfather (Melchior).

The next 8 pages are baby pictures of their 7 children in the order they were born in. (only seven children there was one photo of the first two boys together)
