I am currently trying to gather information on my father's people. His name was Jess Large. His father was also Jess Large and he played a fiddle and was on radio in Ohio with a band. I'm looking for the band and any recordings he might have had. His father was Frank Large who was killed while playing the fiddle for a circus (Robinson Circus) I think. I would like to know where he is buried. He died of colera I believe. Frank's father was Solomon and I think Solomon's father was William. Somehow they are linked in with the royal family of England through marriage. I have pictures I will try to load and would like to see if anyone else knows who some of these people are, (especially the ones in the band). I have one of Myrtle Large, Franks wife and then she married Laffayette. I've heard some wild storys about Uncle Laeff. I think Myrtle may be posing with her grandmother. Can anyone help?

  This is the only good photo I have of Jess Large and his band. Don't know where it was taken or how old must be at least 60 years or so. Who are the other guys?
• Myrtle Large and (grandmother?) (260 KB)
  Don't know what the year was for this photo or who the older ladie is. Assuming it is her mother or grandmother. Do you know?
