As a researcher of my own family genealogy I have tons of old pictures. But this pair really made me perk up.

The first picture of the old man is from the, I believe, Smithsonian collection. He is positively identified as Old Tom Starr. Who, by the way, is my great, great grandfather.

The second picture is posted on a "genealogy cousin's" site as an unknown man. Note the abundance of guns he is carrying.

I took the two faces and put them side by side and compared items like hair, ear, nose. I think it is the same man. Old Tom Starr as a young man.

What do you guys say....

BTW, if you don't know who Tom Starr Sr is, just Wikipedia him, he is quite an historical Cherokee.
