[QUOTE=NinetyWt]  
Is that Polly in the bottom right of that photo, then?  
[/QUOTE]

I believe so, though I can’t really say for sure. The only one I remember for sure is my great-grandmother, in the upper right, and her dad. My granny told me who they all were, once, but I didn’t write it down. I read on a genealogy site earlier today that Polly Dawn was disowned by her family for marrying a white man. ☹

Here’s an ancestor of mine, whose pic I found on the web one day. Can’t remember exactly how we’re related. Apparently the family name Wilder is extremely common in the Karuk tribe, so I’d probably have to go look up tribal records to find out: [Photo Storage | Photobucket](http://s24.photobucket.com/albums/c26/Ghanimatrix/various%20stuff/?action=view&current=ETWilder.jpg)

My grandfather is on the l[eft](http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/2232175970098000304KkUFEW). Around 1915.
