GALLERY OF PHOTOS — click a thumbnail for a larger version    Family Album
	Here are some highlights from a large cache of old photographs.  The Buckingham and Thomas families must have loved to take pictures, but unfortunately they didn't always mark them to indicate the date or the people.  Therefore, in writing the captions for this gallery, I've made my best guess. I inherited these photos, except for this first one, which comes from my second cousin Linda (Buckingham) McAleer.  It shows the family of her great-great-grandfather, who was my great-grandfather John Thomas "Tommy" Buckingham.  He's the seated man.  Opposite him is his wife Mary Curtis Buckingham.  Seated between them is my grandfather Harry.  Their three daughters stand behind them.  Their names were Nora (born 1878), Martha (born 1873), and Elizabeth or "Lizzie" (born 1880).  I'm guessing those are the correct names from left to right. (TEXT CONTINUED BELOW) This photo was probably taken about 1895.  An earlier portrait (click here) shows this same family, plus a younger daughter who did not survive, in front of their home on Curtis Ridge in southeastern Ohio.
