Look at these family photos, I found this interesting

[General Lee]

This man is Julius Howell and I listened to his audio-recording which was really cool but I looked at a family photo from my Great Great Grandmas family and he looked a little familiar. Notice the man that looks like the General was not labeled and this could be a crazy coincidence or is it ?

Really ? I didn't know that I have other German names in the older parts of the family like Huechelin if I spelled that right.
I know this photo was taken in 1925
This is my GG Grandmas info the one named Flrorence

BIRTH	31 May 1914 Georgia, USA
DEATH	1 Apr 1994 (aged 79) Georgia, USA
BURIAL	Forest Hills Cemetery Chattanooga, Hamilton County, Tennessee

As for the others I have no idea the ones that are labeled, the females any way are her sisters I beleive based on a more modern photo below But the man is what gets me he looks so much like the General in that photo.

okay, that means gertrude is her mother? grandmother? what were your gran's names? gen howell lived 'till 1948

 

[General Lee]

I don't expect to be related to Juluis Howell but that would be amazing even if it were a small connection but if not and that is him then I wonder how he crossed paths with my family.There is one Confederate soldier my 5th Great grandfather who was a private in the 1st GA infantry George O. Lombard. Other than that I have no clue.

if it is him (either that or a doppelgänger). he needs to be either a relative or a friend of the family

Interesting pursuit, genealogy! My husband is related to both Crazy Horse and Custer. I think it's hilarious!

Here is Gertdudes full name below:
Husband: Mack Brackett
Father: Dr. Robert Bennett Cuthbert
Mother: Gertrude Augusta Lombard

The Lombard family had the soldier I mentioned in it.
Maybe this will help
Florence Henrietta Cuthbert Brackett (Great Great Grand Mother)
Gertrude Augusta Lombard Cuthbert (Great Great Great Grand Mother)
Roswell Oliver Lombard (Great Great Great Great Grandfather)
George O Lombard (GGGGG Grandfather) 1830-1870 The soldier

Florence Cuthbert my GG grandma in that photo with who could be Juluis Howell. I know she was raised in Rossville GA and born in Goergia for sure and buried in Chatanooga Tennesee.

I couldnt use my real name so a year ago I used that name.
I was thinking about changing it to maybe my initials but that's where I found the photos and got curious.

[rittmeister]

are you able to get a better scan of the first family pic?

 

[diane]

It's like that scene in Little Big Man where he's yelling "George Washington!" to the guy trying to kill him...When did you ever hear an Indian yelling George Washington?!?
