You'd be surprised. When my father-in-law died we inherited a photo- 
album going back over 150 years, to family in Hawick, Scotland,  
before they emigrated to Oz. Nice cabinet portraits in fine  
condition, for the most part. And not one of them identified. We know  
who the photographers were and where they were and 'Oh look, he's the  
spitting image of your half-brother Ted' but who the hell are they?  
We'll never know.
Take a soft pencil and write some legends on the back of your family  
photos, now. Just in case.
