I found the negatives for these pictures in a box of darkroom items at a garage sale 15 years ago. I have been haunted by them ever since. I have scoured these pictures looking for clues as to the identity of this family. Now I will ask my Flickr friends to help
Seems nobody really knows.

Someone [with the original photo] could easily get the tag number and I’m sure the DMV could find the owner of the vehicle which you have the make/model.... the boys in the picture could still be alive ... plus there are the clues of “Ellie & Herb” ...not as difficult as one would think.

Looks like a 50ith wedding anniversery pic with the whole extended family.

I love that top photo. I like natural poses, where the subject ignores the camera.
To: Dallas59
It’s also important to write on the back of the pics who is in them, and the date.

Oct. 19 would indeed be early for even a light snow on the Skyline Drive, although I’ve seen snow as early as Oct. 10 in lower elevations. That license plate should be the key.
To: Dallas59
I understand the haunting feeling; you want them returned to a rightful descendant(s). These are very hard to locate. I've got tons of old family photos, no names on the back.
They're nice pictures, looks like an affluent family. That one may be cherry blossoms in Wash, DC, just a wild guess.
USGENWEB and some other still free genealogy sites might host them for you if you know an approximate location.
The license # is 51*223 but I cannot read the state, looks like two words. Two letters on? then a blank space then about 4 more letters.
Blue Ridge Drive and Skyline Drive are in Virginia (found that on kos by googling). Also found your flickr post.

The street picture looks more like northern Va. or Bethesda, rather than DC.

I don’t know why, but I want to say that family anniv. photo was taken in Chicago. (ESP)

Uh-oh. Intruder Alert. Above the cake and a little to the right.

You’re welcome to borrow my shredder. That should solve your haunting problems.
