Even though you've checked a website before, perhaps several times before, it pays to check again. I periodically search the Ancestry Public Member Trees for several of my direct line ancestors. I always hope to find someone researching the same families. I'm generally disappointed. However, yesterday when I checked Henry Pilgrim (my 3rd great grandfather) I saw what purported to be a photograph of him with is wife (Zilpah Pritchett Pilgrim). It's an obvious photocopy of a photograph with a typewritten notation at the bottom that reads "Henry Pilgrim Sr. - and wife Zylphia Pritchett Pilgrim."

The picture was added on 11 Feb 2011. I quickly sent a message to the submitter asking how they obtained the picture, how it was identified and who has the original. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to confirm the authenticity of the photo and perhaps obtain a better copy.
It pays to look...and look again!
