Competition: The largest family photo

Last week we asked you to send in your oldest family photos as part of a weekly competition to win a free photo consultation with Maureen Taylor, the Photo Detective. This week, we would like to see your photos with the largest number of family members.

We also want to thank everyone who submitted beautiful images showcasing their family history. We received hundreds of photos from around the world, dating back to the 1850s!

Eunice Baldwin Whedon (b. 1778, d. 1854)

Congratulations to Janice Moerschel who sent in this photo of  her relative Eunice Baldwin Whedon from Branford, New Haven, Connecticut. You can see her photo consultation with Maureen Taylor here.

It was difficult to choose a winner from the photos submitted. View all the entries on our Pinterest board here.

However, the competition isn't over. This week, we're giving one lucky winner a chance to win another free photo consultation with Maureen.

How to enter:

This week, we're looking for the largest group family photo. What's the most family members you've been able to get into one photo?  The photo can be from a recent family reunion or event, or even a group shot of your ancestors.
