In the early days of radiography (~1900), images were made of small
groups of people, usually familys.  I need one or more of these group
x-ray images.  Any x-ray with two or more people will do.

Your question immediately brought to mind this amazing x-ray photo
from a few years ago of an entire truckful of immigrants:

It's not from the 1900's, but it certainly is a group!

pafalafa- Any info on how that photo was taken?  It looks like a fake to me.

Not fake.  I remembered seeing this photo when the story first broke. 
It's a whole truck x-ray device used at the borders to x-ray, er,
whole trucks.

Hmmm.  Well it is certainly not a conventional x-ray, in which the
x-ray source is on one side of the subject, and the camera on the
other.  Must be like a regular photo, with the x-rays coming from the
same side as the camera, and bouncing back.
