 * Hi, and thank you for your article on Lester! I noticed that you uploaded the photo as "own work". Since it was taken in 1891, this seems unlikely :). I assume from the username you found it in family archives somewhere? It should be in the public domain regardless, so if you can change the reason to "published before 1926" that would more accurately reflect why. You can ask at the Teahouse if you have questions about this or anything else. Rusalkii  (talk) 18:10, 14 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! I have edited the photo permissions...I think. I'm still figuring out this Wiki editing thing!GenealogyFan1 (talk) 18:26, 14 December 2021 (UTC)


 * Hmm, it still looks like it's set to own work here. Where did you change it? Rusalkii  (talk) 18:57, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
