- 1856Hitch Family Photographs
Last Update: 08/19/2005 10:09 AM
This is my ever-growing collection of old Hitch family photographs. These are priceless mementos of our past and should be treasured as such. Please, if any of you have old photographs, I would be very grateful to receive a copy. Please contact me if you are interested in contributing a photo. I eventually want to put together a comprehensive book(s) on the Hitch family and photographs will go a long way to help me tell our family story. Thanks. I will be adding many more of these in the coming weeks so check back often. Currently, there are four (4) pages of photographs.
Press the thumbnail pictures to see a larger version. Note, that I have tried to minimize the file sizes for these as much as possible. However, you still need to allow some time for them to download so please be patient. Thanks.
