Walter Stewart Clan Family Photo Archive
Welcome to our photos page. Click below to launch the photo archive. We have photos from past reunions and tours, photos of historical documents, and digital copies of many historic family photos. The photos are organized in five main folders. "Houses" contains historical photos by house (e.g. House of Robert). "Reunions" has photos from past reunions organzied by year. "Graves" contains cemetery photos relating to the family. "Other historical" contains family bible pages, historical documents, etc. "Other family photos" currently contains Beth Hall's art work and photos from John and Polly Hellams. A great many of the photos or their captions are due to the diligent hard work of Judy Lesslie Smith, Linda Lesslie Clark, Chelsea Clark, Abbye Clark and LaMarr Brooks. We welcome all the help we can get maintaining these archives. Please email "jmlesslie_777 at yahoo dot com" if you can help with identification and captioning, or if you would like to provide additional photographs. Every year at the reunion a scanner is set up to copy photos so that they can be returned immediately if you would like to add to our collection. Not all of the albums have been fully formatted yet, so please forgive some missing captions or other flaws. If recent reunion photos are missing, please join our Facebook group where more are posted.
