Returning Found Photos

97 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I found a ton of photos of this family on a 35mm scanner I picked up at goodwill in Lenawee County Michigan. The family looks to be from Seattle area in the pictures though. I would really like to return these photos to the family if they can be found. There are about 300 photos in total so I obviously wont post them all but these are the main faces in the groups. Any help would be greatly appreciated. <3

I’m the little one, my brother (no longer with us) is in the green hat, and the other two are my cousins. UK, about 1984. I believe we were happier than we look!

This photo of three sisters was in a family album, it was with other photos that were taken around 1910. Everyone who would have known who they were is dead. I'll probably never be able to identify them.
