Thank you, Michael, for that very thorough and helpful analysis! I just want to stress again that I am not relying on facial-match programs, no matter how high the results. I don't think they've reached the level of acceptability where what they say is taken by everybody as gold. I am looking at each facial feature with my own eyes and determining where there are matches. And while I know that some people disagree with me, I see enough matches, especially among their unique features, to convince me that they are Knickerbockers. One thing that I find interesting is that of the people who disagree with me, not one has pointed to a feature in any of the men that stands out as a complete and obvious non-match to the comparison. It's just a general, "I don't see the resemblances." What I would like to see is if somebody can say something like, "So-and-So has a giant wart on his nose which is not there in the comparison pic" (or whatever, some other blatantly obvious difference). I can (and have briefly above) point out the numerous similarities. So I don't know what or who, if anything or anybody, will be able to convince those who just don't see it.
