Hi Joanne,
As long as the pic is before 1960---esp if earlier--that is fine---anything from
1830s to 1960--altho' prefer images of 1930 and before--just as those show more
ancestral persons of earlier age (so yes your relative b 1878 is perfect).
Label your jpegs or gifs,etc. w/as much info as possible...such as....
JohnM_CALVER_b1878_LibbyKS_d1958GA_sonOf_Jacob&Lu_neeBlack.jpg
or some such thing! the more info the better--as THIS is what tells others what particular
Calvert line that person is from.
Also any scanned/xeroxed, emailed/snail-mailed copies of images of docu- ments---should
also have noted on them something that indicates what par- ticular line of Calverts they
are describing---such as if group sheet---the beg. name--let's say it's Jacob
Calver b 1821 in MD---show that he descends from Lord Baltimore of London, England (if
that's the case) or that his father was Martin Calvert 1st Calvert emigrant to America
in 1607 at Jamestowne -if that was the case!
Thanks again for your inquery--and again anyone who submits a foto image and/or
document/text copy will get a free foto-booklet and free access to our Calvert family
website---thanks again so much--cuzin dina
