The street was remarkably unchanged from the old photos, almost like you could take the people out and make the same images today.

From there Barnes was able to use property records to find family members who lived in the home for several years beginning in 1951.

He tracked them down on Facebook, but they didn’t recognize the people in the photos.

Barnes was disappointed, but now believes, based on the records, clothing and age of the camera, that the photos were taken in the 1940s.

He is still hoping to find someone connected to the family who lived there during that era who might know the faces in the snapshots.

“I know that those little boys are probably out there somewhere,” he said. “They have no idea these even exist.”

Barnes also connects to one of the photos: a man with a camera in his hands.

“That’s my favorite,” he said. “For obvious reasons.”

Barnes hasn’t given up hope and continues to follow leads and post on social media pages looking for help finding the family.
