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.
