The photo below has one recognizable ancestor. Man standing on the left, Jacob Kenny Thompson, son of Christopher Columbus and Mary Catherine Sponaugle Thompson. This photo may have been taken circa 1895-1900, Atlantic City, NJ. I believe there is a resemblance of the man standing on the right in this photo to the man who is featured in the photo taken of the couple in Illinois. What do you think?
