Hello, I would like to know a little about the uniform being worn by the person in "fampics164". He may be my Great Great Grandfather, who was born in about 1835 in Philadelphia, PA. He lost his right leg in the US Civil War, this person's right leg appears larger than his left leg. That may be a GAR Ribbon on his jacket. The photo, "fampics165" of the two couples, may be my GG Grandfather on the left with my GG Grandmother in front of him and possibly the other couple may be related. The photo, "fampics163" with the two boys, the younger may be my Great Grandfather and his older brother. My Great Grandfather would have been born in 1874 in Philadelphia, PA and his older brother would have been born a couple of years earlier. Any thoughts on these photos would be greatly appreciated. Sorry, I could not post all three photos on one Post. Thank You, Wayne
