The man in the picture is the father of my great-great-grandmother and his portrait, in a handsome walnut frame, has been in the possession of my branch of the family since the 19th century (presumably it belonged to his daughter ellen crowfoot, nee miller). Although this is a common enough situation, it does seem that wiki's system for checking copyright is rather inflexible in this respect. I have learned in my sixties to use wikipedia, wordpress and facebook, but your instructions for image copyright left me frustrated, exhausted and confused. To demonstrate goodwill and attempt to conform to your rules i have contacted your volunteers about this issue. John crowfoot (talk) 17:13, 21 march 2017 (utc). Date: 1826.
