If Isayama is putting it exactly how it is in the real world, if you look at 1800s photos, light hair was still light and dark hair was still dark. Same with everything around in the photos. But just like CaptFredricks said, I'm not completely ruling out what you all are saying. I'm only still not convinced at all, definitely not about the part of Eren and Zeke being brothers. I do feel now that picture is very likely of their ancestors. Even if the man does have a Grisha hair style, it doesn't mean that's him. People can change their hair of course. I've noticed in animes they like to make ancestors look like the character in question a lot of the time. Isayama likes to make us think one thing then it ends up not being the case. I feel he intended to make us think it's Grisha, which seems to be the popular opinion, but it's going to end up not being him and something along the lines of a relative.

But as always, I don't think of my opinions as fact. There's no way I can know any of this for certain since I don't work with Isayama. I won't know if I'm right or wrong until everyone else learns the truth of this photo as well.
