a cousin had traced the descendants of an aunt b.1772, and was sent a photo of her portrait, and a photo of her niece, unknown to their family. the niece is my 4th great grandmother, and none of her descendants have a photo of her, or portraits of her or her family. even though we know that some were in existence and were sold at auction in the 1930's when the senior line went bankrupt. the family were landed gentry as well, so it is more surprising there is nothing left.
moral of the story, trace your twigs!! you don't who has what in their attics!
