ALBUM OF LONG LOST RELATIVES

These are photos provided by Tom Klein. Tom's grandmother was Mary Mehm Balz, my grandfather's sister. None of these photos had any names on them, and neither of us recognize who they are. We need your help to identify these long lost relatives and put a name with the face. Most of the photos are on Cabinet Cards, which are a stiff cardboard about 4" x 6" with the photography studio's name imprinted on the card. I believe the photos were taken sometime between 1890 and 1910.
Please email me if you have a similar photo in your collection possibly with a name on it, or believe you can identify one or more of them. Thanks, Joe Mehm joe@mehm.com
