Hi, My mom was just going thru her grandmother's purse and found an original picture of Frank Leslie when he was a young man, he looks about maybe early 30's. He looks very dapper like he either came from a good family, or he just wanted to look rich. his nose was different than the picture on the internet, I guess he hadn't broken it much then. My mom is convinced that Frank Leslie must be a family member, but she doesn't know how. We'd have to look at Frank Leslie's family lineage and see if he was connected to mine. My mother's maiden name is Downs - descended from William Downs who had a land grant in the 1740's in Delaware, and came over from apparently England though I believe he was Scotch Irish. We believe my mother's grandfather or grandmother might have been family with Leslie in order to have a picture of him. My mother's grandfather was married to a welsh woman of the maiden name Congdon. She was the one who had the picture of Leslie n her purse. Anyways, if anyone knows how the Downs or Congdon family might be connected to the Leslie family, can you please let me know...thank you. My email is
