Really depends on how 'blurry' the photograph really is. While general sharpening is possible using 'unsharp mask' and 'emphasize edges', if the faces themselves are not visible there's little you can do about it. Try scanning the photos at high resolution, magnify them in an image editor and check if you can make out any features. That's the best way you can approach this issue.

Sorry, can't do nothin' with it.

Sorry, but if there's no detail in the faces, there's nothing you can do. You can take a little bit of blur out with programs like Photoshop, but there's only so much you can do. I'd say to re-shoot, but since they are older photos, you can't do that. I'm sorry!

you really can't undo it like with regular sharp photos. it's like trying to turn black and white photos into color, it's nearly impossible.
