Do you recognize these people?

We have been able to identify approximately 70% [88 / 123] of the portraits online via inscriptions on the objects and good old-fashioned sleuthing. Unfortunately, that means nearly 30% of the portraits are unidentified. Please let us know if you recognize your great-great-uncle or great-great grandmother in these images!

Missionary Levi Spaulding (1795-1893), undertook the creation of a Tamil Dictionary starting in 1838, while in Madura [today known as Madurai]. The dictionary was written out by the girls in the Female Boarding School, run by his wife Mary Christie Spaulding (1795-1874).
