| I have come across a old photograph of a great aunt who was born in Canada.
She moved to ND in 1877 and later married a gentleman from either ND or Minn.
The photograph was taken by a photographer named REED and the back
of the picture says Bimidgi, Minn. I have no idea how old the picture is
and I was wondering if you had any info on the photographer, example how
long he was in Bemidgi etc.

Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
I have a picture taken on Feb. 22, 1903 at W.E. Myre's Camp, 3 miles East of Blackduck. (20, 580 Feet. I think this refers to the amount of wood cut.) The photographer is Harry F. Nixon. I think this may have been taken near Black Duck, Beltrami County, MN. I believe this is a picture of a logging camp. I am trying to learn how to locate records, so I can learn more about which relative worked here. Any Ideas? Please email me with any suggestions. I think this is a fascinating picture. Thanks Much.

| I have a photo that was taken in a Nunda Township (by Emmons MN) country school. My grandfather is one of the kids, but I don't know anyone else in the photo. My grandfather is about 6 years old, so it puts the photo to date around 1915 or so. If there is anyone whose ancestors went to school in a country school in Nunda Township, Please contact me and we can see if any of the kids in the photo are related to you. I am willing to make copies to share with you. My email is ktmcd@netins.net Thanks. Shellie McDermott |

My grandfather, Bror Hugo Larson, is seated on the far right and I understand he attended a baking school in Minnesota. He talked about living in Little Sweden. The only marking on the photo is in the lower right corner, "Johnston & Co." and "MPLS" which I have thought may be an abbreviation for Minneapolis. The man seated on the far left has a badge sticking out of his pocket that says "baker's union" and two of the men in the front row are wearing what appear to be Eagle's Lodge badges, as they look similar to the one my grandfather had. I do not know the significance of the "canes" they are holding. I would estimate this photo was taken about 1906-1912. If anyone knows about this baking school, I could use help in identifying it.

I have several photos that were taken in Minneapolis, St. Peter, and unknown Minnesota location that were in my father's belongings after he died. I have sent copies to everyone living that I know and no one can currently identify them. I would love to post them on the Minnesota GenWeb site for mystery pictures and see if anyone can identify them. I would be willing to give other folks digital copies. The information provided below and above are all I know. Thank you for your consideration. Claudia East The following surnames are common in my family and these individuals may be in one of these lines: Anderson, Johnson, Linstrom. However, to my knowledge we did not have relatives in Minnesota, but did in Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois. My digital photos are attached, this is the information I have about them:

| Can anyone identify the priest
seated here at what appears to be a wedding. I believe it was taken around
Crookston in the late 1800's or early 1900's. There is nothing written on
the photo back.
My grandparents, Omer Beauchene and Odile Lalaberte lived in Crookston.My oldest Aunt, Mary Dufualt, was born in 1893, so if this was taken at their wedding then this picture could be dated shortly before that. However this may be wishfull thinking. Thank you, Ron These photographs were taken about 1902 on the steps of the Euclid School in Polk County Minnesota. It was school district #47. Any help in identifying these subjects would be wonderful. Three of them may be my ancestors but since I wasn't around at that time I don't recognize them. One of the adults may be Katharine Burns (a teacher). Three of the students may be JOHNSON's. photo #1 and photo #2 Brenda Johnson Gaetz, Canada - Invalid email address 31 May 2019 CROOKSTON- If anyone has any photos of the Crookston Tanning Company or the Miller Tanning Company please let me know. Also any pictures, newspaper accounts of August Miller, Herman U. Miller or Ronald K. Miller all of Crookston, MN. The tanning company burned to the ground in the 20's or early 30's, any photos of this or information would be appreciated. Jack Miller I am looking for photos of "Burslie Eat Shop" in Fertile, MN.

Hello, I here is a photo of my great great uncle in front of his restaurant. His name is Gary Lee Parker, born May 21, 1884 in either Macon, GA area or Navarro County, TX. He moved out to St. Paul, MN after he grew up. I don't know if he married, if so, who he married, or any other info. The back of the photo noted his name, and the location, St. Paul, MN probably the early 1930's? I haven't been able to find anything else on him so I don't know how long he stayed in St. Paul or if he ever left at all! Please contact me if you might be able to shed some light on this man. His brother, James Solomon Parker, was my great grandfather. Gary Lee Parker's parents were John F. Parker and Sarah Jane Ruffin. This looks like it is in the middle of nowhere!

a group of photos that I purchased on eBay. Most of the other people in this
group of photographs were from Flandreau, Vermillion and Elk Point, South

The only marking on the photo is the photographer's name; "Bauer, Winona, Minn." Such a great looking picture should be with this fellow's family. If you recognize this man please contact Rod Stroud |

ANDERSON/BRINGELSON/EKLUND/ELLISON/HEDSTROM/HILLER/ JACOBSON/JOHNSON/LINDBERG/LINDSTROM/LUND/OKESON/PLATT I just bought a photo of 24 children and a minister in Crystal, Minnesota at a garage sale for $2.00, I believe its a conformation picture and probably from around the late 1800's most of the children's names are on the back of the photo, the photo is in very good condition and with the names it's probably a Minnesota picture, the names are Harry ANDERSON, H.V. HEDSTROM, Selma LUND, Charles OLSON, Ferdinand OLSON, Lillian JACOBSON, Glennie OKESON, Anna L. HEDSTROM, ALFRED LINDSTROM, Arona LOUISE HEDSTROM, Gust JOHNSON, Leander EKLUND, Olga M.

Clark ANDERSON/JOHNSON/LARSON/SLETTEN My name is Solvig Meijer and I live in Borlänge, Sweden. I got a photo from my grandfather with a lot of people on it who must be my relatives, in one way or another. I think the photo has been taken in a place namned Lake Lillian. I hope someone will recognize them because I would like to get in contact. The people are: Mrs Eric Anderson, Christina Anderson Larson, Ernest, Violet, Sally, Eris, Irving, Andrew and wife Louella, Marvin Sletten and wife Judy, Marie and husband Ed Johnson and daughter Farolyn, Effie. This photo was taken 1938. ARTMANN/EVANS/FRAUENDIENST/POPELBA
I have a Christmas card sent to my grandmother for Christmas 1964 (she had
passed away by then) from E. E. Frauendienst of Glencoe, Minnesota,
that includes quite a number of snapshots that I'd be happy to mail to a
family member. Photos are: Steven Evans (toddler) Dec 1963 (says "Rachel's
youngster" on back) ASHLEY/STONE I have a copy/print of my grandmother, Helen Maud Stone and three other ladies, dressed in their hats and finery. I do not have the 3 others names but can only speculate they may have attended the Normal school at Winona, MN. from which my grandmother graduated in 1905. This picture appeals to me due to it showing the fashions of the day but someone may know these other ladies and want a copy or include it in some sort of display. She was the daughter of Azro Ashley and Sarah Francis Stone. Azro was active in civic and church affairs of Niccollet , holding various offices, including Mayor of St. Peter for one year (their home being a brownstone on Main Street across from the Nicolett County Courthouse). Later, they lived at 4o8 Washington Ave., St. Peter. Or are these 2 the same? Included in some history she has written are included these names, who possibly may be her friends in the photo---- Mable Hanscom who died of Typhoid Fever in her Sr. year, & Rosalie Burns. If you are interested, I can mail you a copy I've had made-- it is perhaps a 3x5 -- at any rate , not a large photo. Phyllis Johnson AUGUNSON/TORGRIMSON
I have this old photo taken probably in the 1890's in Moorehead,
Minnesota. The front of the photo has printing indicating the photo shop
was Flaten in that community. The back of the photo has " Ma's uncle &
wife" and on the front of the photo someone has placed x's over the supposed
relatives. I think that all of these folks are related to me, why would they
all be posed for a formal photograph if not related? Any comments would be
appreciated. The home of these folks is somewhere in northwestern Mn,
around Otter Tail county. I believe the surnames to be first, Augunsons &
possibily Torgrimsons. If you recognise anyone in the
photo please email

and Mindwell Permelia Holmes (1810-1877) born 24 Sept 1838, Potsdam, St.

Probably taken at Minneapolis, St Paul, or Red Wing, or Duluth, MN Photo #3 Cooper Family Photo #5 Photo #6 BUETOW/KIRCHOFF I have a large group photo of which my great grandparents are in. There are no markings on the pictures and I am unable to identify others in the photo. It could be a family picture as it appears to me many resemble another. My ggrandparents names are Henry Kirchoff and Agnes Buetow. They resided in St. Paul since l900's but had relatives in Belle Plaine. Henry died in 1948 so the photo was obviously before then but perhaps not too much. If anyone can help identify others in the photo I would greatly appreciate it! Please contact Karen BURSLIE I am looking for photos of "Burslie Eat Shop" in Fertile, MN. My father, Arthur Burslie owned this restaurant in the late 1930's and early 40's.

Mary Burslie Davis, Madras, Oregon 97741 CASLER/HENRY/PORTER I need some guidance on a problem I am having difficulty solving. In my possession I have a photo of an infant I cannot identify. This photo was among others I inherited from my father who died in 1984. As far as any of our family knows none of the immediate lines lived in Minnesota but the photo is in a paper folder with the name of the photographer: L.C. Chamberlin, Northfield, Minn. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The surnames I am researching that possibly might be connected to this child: CASLER, HENRY, PORTER. The photo may date from late 1800s. Thank you for your time. Marilyn Casler Riesbol, Santa Maria, California CLARGO/COUSINS/HOOK I have inherited 3 photographs of I assume members of my family. I have no idea who they are. I know that members of the HOOK family who went to the border areas of Illinois and Wisconsin (GraysLake and Waukegan). These may be from the COUSINS or CLARGO family I don't know. Any way one was taken by D B NYE 811 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis, another says MILLER 415, 417 & 419 Nicollet Ave, Minneapolis{branches Ashland,Wis & St Cloud, Minn. The 3rd says BISHOPS STUDIO, Minneapolis. Is there any one out there who could tell me when any of these company's were in business to help me date the photo's. Would it be worth getting copies made and sent to a local Minneapolis newspaper to see if they would print them in case any body could identify any of the subjects. I believe they date from between 1880 and 1920. Photo 1, Photo 2, Photo 3. Any help from your listers would be much appreciated. Best regards, Susan Stone, Bedfordshire, England CLARK I have found more information on my 2nd great uncle, who owned CVR Clark Photography Studio's. He was at 602 1/2 Central Avenue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Then in Montrose, Minnesota, Delano, Minnesota, and then to Lake Benton, Minnesota. He was in Delano from July 1889 to December of 1889, then on to Lake Benton. If any one has Photos with CVR Clark Photography Studio's and could date them and where they were taken, I would really like to hear from you as I'm trying to find out where Charles Van Rensalaer Clark, ended up as I believe my 2nd great grand mother, his mother Catharine Janet Gillett Clark, ended up with him, as she lived to 1923, 15 years longer then my 2nd great grand father. Thanks. R. Clark COOK/CARPENTER/FRASHER/MOREY/ODELL/SMITH/TRASHER I have four graduation photos from the class of 1897 of Minneapolis Central High School. These pictures were given to me by my grandmother's cousin, Kathleen Crockett Van Fleet and were classmates of one of her sisters, either Virginia Crockett or Claudia Crockett. The names on the backs of these pictures are: Clinton M. ODELL - Central High, 1897; C.B. Cook - CHS "97"; Vera L. Morey - CHS "97"; Emma, or possibly Ewina Carpenter - CHS 97; (Nannie) A Smith CHS 97. All of the above were taken at the O.F. Stafford & Co. Photographer, 520 Nicollet Ave. I also have another photo of Vera L. Morey taken in 1896 also taken at the Stafford studios.Another single photograph of a young girl. Written on the back is "Bessie Trasher/Frasher, born in Minneapolis. Finally, a photograph of another young girl, who looks as though she may be Native American, but dressed in a dark dress with a light colored pinafore with flowers on it. On the back of the photo is written, Adelaid Smith (Addie), born in Minneapolis. This photograph was taken by Cottrel Studio, Photo & Artist, 11& 13 - 5 St. So., Minneapolis. Would be glad to share any of these photographs. Claudia Schuman DAVIS/DRUEY
I have recently been scanning some old family pictures that belonged
to my grandmother and/or her sister, and have run into a small snag identifying
5 of them. To set the stage, my grandmother was Grace Druey, daughter
of John Druey who lived for a few years prior to 1878 in Chatfield. John
had a brother Frank that lived in Chatfield most of his adult life and is
buried there. Some of his children stayed in the area and maybe some stayed
in the Winona area. I have recently found out that my grandfather, Melvin
Perry Davis, had an uncle Edwin Sumner Davis that spent most of
his adult life in Winona and is buried there. The five photos presented here
probably came from my grandmother's sister Lilly, who occasionally visited
the Rochester area. According to my mother, these pictures are from friends
of Lilly's and had no connection to the family that she knew of. I seriously
believe however, that these photos could be of some Druey or Davis boys and
would love to make contact if any of the descendants of Frank Druey or Edwin
Davis are still around the Chatfield or Winona areas. If anyone could help
identify these lads I would be very grateful. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look these fine looking boys over, and if any look familiar, please contact Rod Stroud DUCKERING/SALKUM 2 Photos of Kimball MN.....sent from their in 1907 and 08 to Washington State from one of my relatives to another! 2 photos Postcards of Kimball, MN......Stearns Co....The one simply on the front says Kimball, MN (snow picture) and the other one says "Street Scene Kimball, Minn)......On the Snow picture on the back side Sent from : Lizzie Duckering with a note saying "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, yours sister Lizzie".....postmark sent on Dec. 24th, 9pm 1907 from Kimball and sent to G.W.

GOLLING I have a photo of a very handsome young man (late teens or early 20's) in a military uniform. It is in a folder that has a shield on the front with these words: Qualitas Servitum. Underneath is written B.C.Golling St. Paul, Minn. It is not a uniform of St. Thomas Military or Cretin High School.

Thank you, Cara Mumford GREEK I am Trying to find who and where this Wedding Photo of LUTHER GREEK was taken, and who are in this Wedding Party? The Best man is my father Raymond E. Raitor(Raiter) he was born 1912 and was married in 1937. This picture was found behind a other picture. My mother never has seen this photo. Could of been taken in Waverly Mn? or Deerwood Mn? Or St. Paul Mn? Would like to know the Story behind it? And will send copy to family if they do not have one! Thanks Rob HANSON Hi, I have a porcelain dinnerplate with a wedding picture embossed into this plate. It is dated year 1888 and has a wedding photo of Uni and Henry Hanson on it. I purchased this at a second hand store and would like to find the Hanson family or relatives to return this to them...............Terrance Jestin, Nanaimo, B.C., Canada HARGENS/PERRINE/PRIEN Our family has a copy of the wedding photo of Antje Maria Caroline PRIEN. Unfortunately, this is only a copy of one of the originals, which the photographer supplied for the happy couple to give to friends and family. One of these originals most likely would have included the name of the photographer and his location. The information recorded on the back of or copy states, "sister of great-grandmother HARGENS (PERRINE)". While researching the parish registers of Heide, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany for the PRIEN family, we discovered the bride's name and that she was born on 11 Nov 1855. Her parents were Johann Nicolaus Heinrich PRIEN and his wife, Catharina Margaretha FICK. A marriage for Antje Maria Caroline PRIEN was not registered in Heide, but she may have married in Hamburg, where she worked as a maid during the late 1870's and 1880's. It is also possible that she came to America and was married here. Our ELLGEN relatives, who live in Murray and Pipestone counties may be able to help us find out the name of the groom and where they were married. We would love to solve this mystery. Thank you.

This is a picture of my great grandfather. It was taken around 1901 in
Minneapolis. His name was Hans Peter
Holt, and his wife, Laura Langum was related to Samuel Langum,
who was the Sheriff of Hennepin County in the early 1900's. HOLMES

The following photos all came fron an antique album purchased on e-bay and
are mostly from Minnesota, Wisconsin area. They all seem to be related to
each other, but are no relation to me. I would like them to go to a family
member for the cost of postage. All pictures are on a rectangular hardboard
backing with the photographers backmarks in either the lower right hand corner
of photo or on back. All in excellent condition as follows:
The following are unidentifyed but came from the same album; HOULGATE/MEYER I have 17 professional photos from mid to late 1800's that I would like to get to their owners. I found them in Oregon at an antique shop. Only one has something written on it. It says "MISS ANNA MEYER and is signed YOUR FRIEND AND TEACHER ISAAC HOULGATE" The photograper on this one says L.P. Peavey, Main St. Faribault, Minn.; another of a young woman's face, photographer Hoerger, 404 N. Main St. Faribault, Minn.; 3 pictures from Cabinet Portraits, Fred Mueller Owatonna, Minn.; One picture of two young men who appear to be brothers, Fleckenstein Photographer Faribault, Minn.; one of a young womans profile from Bowe & Groethe, Morristown, Minn.; one of a young man from Crescent Studio, M.

This is someone's precious heritage. Can anyone tell me about an ANNA MEYER, or an ISAAC HOULGATE? Help? Thanks, Trudy Spanier INGVAIDSON
I Have a picture of a GERALD A. INGVAIDSON in uniform. IVERSONS/KNODLES/LARSDATTER/OLSONS/STEVENS I have a picture of family, taken by A. Nelson, Maynard, Chippewa County, MN. On the back of the picture it states, Paulson's cousins. Surnames in my family are IVERSONS, OLSONS, KNODLES, STEVENS, LARSDATTER. My family is mostly in Yellow Medicine County, Lyons County, and Renville County. I would love to learn who this family is and how they connect to my family. If anyone recognizes the family, please email me and see if we have a connection. Jackie IZATT/MILLER/MULLER I need help in locating a small trunk of Hungargian letter's and photo's, which were sold some time between 1988-1992 from a garage sale at the home of Leona Marie (Izatt) and Andrew Miller in the Shoreview area. This trunk has the only things. My Grand Mother and Grand father had. The name and address on the US mail would be Michael or Theresa Miller (Müller) at 59 West Sycamore St., St.Paul, Minn. Coming from Adony Hungary or Duna Adony Hungary, Please If you have it, or know who does please contact me. Rob at SSHROB@COMCAST.COM JAKOBSEN/JENSEN When we purchased our home in 1991, here in Seattle WA we ran across a marriage certificate (in so-so shape) issued to Louise M Jensen & Torgen B Jakobsen both from Minneapolis, MN on May 1st, 1884. It is a large piece that has pictures of both of them in little inserts. We are in the process of doing a home remodel, and I would love to find the rightful owner of this. I am Karen Hamilton 206.789.1090 or dkhamil@jps.net
JENNINGS I found this photograph in my g.grandmother's trunk. It is a postcard, but there is no postmark on it. It says on the back "Mrs. Jennings Children Beaudette Minnesota. I've never run across this name in my family tree so can only assume they were friends of my g.grandparents Barbara and Peter Johnson. I would love to find the family that this belongs to. Brenda JOHNSON I have come into the possession recently of a family group photo. I am unsure if they're mine or not, but sure would like to find out who they are regardless. I have other photo's of many of the individuals in this picture, so if there's anyone out there that thinks it might be one of their people I can scan other individual photo's of these same people. The photo was taken in Crookston, Minnesota but may be a family of Euclid or surrounding area. It was taken at Shrin Seth (unsure because the writing is pretty fancy). This photo was among my g.grandmother Barbara Sasch Johnson's personal belongings. Brenda Gaetz KNICKERBACKER
I have a family picture of mine
that I was hoping that other members of the KNICKERBACKER family in
Minnesota maybe able to help. The picture had to have been taken before 1894,
because GG-Grandpa Herman Knickerbacker died in May of 1894. They were from
the St. Cloud, MN area since 1869.
Middle row:
Front row:
The little girl in the middle between Jane and Herman was noted as my Grandma
Reva Knickerbacker Scherfenberg Stickles...but she was born in 1895 and Herman
supposedly died in 1894. SOOO...am having troubles with the dates and names.
I do not know of any Samuel Knickerbacker during this time period. KOCK/McTURK/REMSEN/SOLL I have an envelope full of small portraits that seem to be all of the same family. On the back of only one of these is the location given, and that seems to be Pipestone, Minn. The pictures are only about an inch in diameter, and are of the McTurk, Soll, Remsen, and Kock families. The names are as follows, Farlam(F); Tom and Addie McTurk; Uncle Henry & Louise; mother Anna Soll & Meta Kock Remsen; Tom McTurk & Louise; Louise 14 yrs; Pete & Meta Kock; grandpa Clausen & Andrew Soll & Pete Kock; and Linda. I would like to find the proper home for these and would ask only a small reimbursement to cover my expenses. I enthusiastically endorse Gen Web and your attempt at returning such things as photos and memorabilia to their families. Thanks. Wayne Shannon KRAMER/RUSSET I have a few photos (at very high resolution, they'll take a while) from various years that others may want copies: HaEdSixtet.jpg is an army photo from the late 1940s, showing my grandfather and five other men. It's a high probablity that they are in the 47th Infantry Divsion at Fort Rucker, AL. There are no markings on the back and no names to go with the other men. Does anyone recognize these men? Benice And Girls.jpg is of my grandmother from the late 1920s or early 1930s. Again there are no names or markings on the back, so I can't name the girls in the center or right. If anyone knows who the two are, I would appreciate knowing. Edward Russet1938.jpg and RayKramer1938.jpg are photos my grandfather had. I don't know who these men are but I am guessing they lived in the east side of St. Paul in the 1938 or went to Cretin HS. Both are taken in 1938. LANBIER I came across a photo in a Portland, Oregon antique shop that might interest someone. The best I can make out from the inscription on the back is that it is Mr. Les. W. Lanbier and family and that it was taken in Alexandria, Minn. Penny Stewart LANGDON/ROACH The attached photograph is of Margaret and Roberta Langdon, taken in April 1919. Margaret was 6 years old and Roberta 1 1/2. This picture was one of many that had belonged to a relative in my husband's family, Thoris Roach, and given to me after her death. The Roach family lived at 3324 1st Ave South in Minneapolis from 1901 to the 1970's when Thoris Roach was moved to a nursing home. She was the daughter of Fred & Ida Roach, born in 1901 and lived at 3324 1st Ave S. her entire life. It appears that the Langdon family were neighbors and friends of the Roach family. I would be happy to give the original photograph to a relative of the Langdon family, and I may have other photos the Langdon children appreared in. Claudia Schuman - schuman16@att.net LARSON My grandfather, Bror Hugo Larson, is seated on the far right and I understand he attended a baking school in Minnesota. He talked about living in Little Sweden. The only marking on the photo is in the lower right corner, "Johnston & Co." and "MPLS" which I have thought may be an abbreviation for Minneapolis. The man seated on the far left has a badge sticking out of his pocket that says "baker's union" and two of the men in the front row are wearing what appear to be Eagle's Lodge badges, as they look similar to the one my grandfather had. I do not know the significance of the "canes" they are holding. I would estimate this photo was taken about 1906-1912. If anyone knows about this baking school, I could use help in identifying it. Sheila Larson LINDQUIST This picture was send to my grandmother in Menahga, MN from a Mrs. Wm Lindquist, box 643..Dec. 17, 1916. There is no post mark or stamp. Is as follows: Dec. 17, 1916.. Dear Friend...Thanks for the postal received some time ago. why don't you drop a card once a year at least. Wishing you a Merry Xmas. Mrs. Wm Lindquist Box 603. Side 1 and side 2 Hope you can find an owner, Claudia Thiry I have lots of photos on the Loudon family of Mpls MN 1880-1930's and newspaper clippings etc. I also have an old photo album they brought over from Scotland. You can see the old photo album at http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/marcialoudon/my_photos The album is John and Mary. The other album is of another branch. They were not in MN. I have a scrapbook like it on the Loudons too. Marcia Loudon MADISON/SELKE SELKE FAMILY. I have a whole box of family photos mainly of the Alfred Paul Selke family of Sauk Rapids. Alfred was my uncle by marriage to Bertha Madison of St. Paul. Anyone in the family who would like to have these photos please contact Gordon Madison MANKE
I have several MANKE Family photos:
The second picture was taken before 1906. MARKS/MARX This is a pic of Charles Marks [Marx] taken in Clara City, MN. Owners of the studio, were E. Waters & A. Levy. Rumor in the Marks family for years was that Charles was the illegitmate son of Karl Marx, the communist, but from all the searching I have done this is untrue. Charles MILLER CROOKSTON- If anyone has any photos of the Crookston Tanning Company or the Miller Tanning Company please let me know. Also any pictures, newspaper accounts of August Miller, Herman U. Miller or Ronald K. Miller all of Crookston, MN. The tanning company burned to the ground in the 20's or early 30's, any photos of this or information would be appreciated. Jack Miller MILLER/MULLER (and more) I am looking for photo's from Elk River Minnesota Sherburne county. My Grand parents Michael and Theresa(Tokay) Miller-Müller from 1915 to 1918 lived there, They were from Hungary, for some reason their land didn't go though, my Mother Julia was born 1916 in Elk River,Town 33 Range 26 Section-9, 60 acres, Some friends and family were Lutz and Englstroms, Gonder(Sondor) Toth, Fazekas, Their Picture's in a trunk was sold in a garage sale in St. Paul, Minnesota.

At a giant flea market called Goldrush in Oronoco, MN in late August, 1999
I came across the following item. Large 2 ft by 18 inches (aprox) framed
original wedding certificate WITH PHOTOS for: NISSEN I rescued an old photo album from a thrift store, trying to find family of Nissens. Names include Anna Myatt Nissen, Phylis Nissen, Mildred Nissen, Joann, David. One picture is at a Lake Delavon, Wis. Most pictures are of the 1920's. Would love to find next of kin. Some pictures are made at a studio in Dickson, Tenn. Please email me if you are part of this family group.

This
house on Fremont Blvd. in Minneapolis, belonged to my husband's
great grandparents, Merit Butler Peck and Anna Peck. PICKETT/SCOTT I am searching for any old photos of the Scott and Pickett family from the 1800' and on. They were from Pipestone and Edgerton MN. If you have any information on these families or photos please e-mail me (BeJae) REYNARD Have old photos (c.1900) of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Grant Reynard of Merriam Park, near Minneapolis. Any relatives or archival library may contact me. Virginia RICE/WERNER This photo was taken around 1925. I know the identity of three of the individuals: Center, Nelson Rice, Civil War veteran; right of him, Jacob Arthur Werner, went on to be mayor of St. Louis Park in the 1940s and 1950s; left rear, Willard Werner, Jacob's son and my grandfather. Nelson was Willard's grandfather, and Jacob's father-in-law. I'd like to know more about the other people in the photo, as well as a better date for it. Willard was born in 1910, and looks to be about 15 in the picture, hence the extimate of 1925. The small mark in the lower left corner is a photographer in Minneapolis. Michael Werner RUTLEDGE I have several pictures and some hand written family history, on a Rutledge Family as he was my stepfather, We knew very little about him. He was born in MN, around 1902 or 03. I would be more than happy to send this to anyone, that might like to have it.

I am desperately searching for an old Family Bible this Bible was published
by N.Y. American Bible Society Institute in the year MDCCCXVI or 1816. SETTLE Hugh Settle Family with brothers and a sister names Cora who settled south of Duluth Minn and help build a school aprox 1920. I Think a river was named after him but I was just given some wonderful pictures by my Grandmother who is his only child Frances Settle dating back to around 1920 in covered wagons crossing over the ohio river and him homesteading and killing a 600 lb mouse. I have several wonderful pictures I would love to share if anyone is interested. He died young my understanding in a gun accident at age 35. Lisa Burt STULL (and more) Can anyone help identify these pictures found in the attic of the Stull home in Staples,Mn. after the death of Marion Stull in Feb. 1942. Marion was the son of John Stull and Lavinia Sibley. His brothers and sisters were Mary Alice Stull (Mrs. Wilbert Emery), Emma Florence (Mrs. Edward Loeffler), Rebecca Stull (Mrs. Frederick Thorp), Julia Stull (Mrs. Cockle), Walter Stull, Lottie Stull, (Mrs. Peck), Adeline Stull (Mrs. Milton Berryman),Nellie Stull, and Edna Stull (Mrs. Schwert). Any help appreciated! Please email if you can help. Thank You. Bernie Schwindt STUNTEBECK This is a photo of the Stuntebeck family from Freeport Minn. My great grandmother was the woman named Josephine. Does anyone have any information about her brothers and sisters as to where they lived and died or any of their decendents? Any information would be appreciated. Thank-you, Joy F. SWENSON We have an old old photo album with very small pictures in it. Some of them are tintypes. We believe the album belonged to Torger Swenson (sometimes referred to as Targei Svensson) who came from Aseral, Vest Agder County, Norway, Tjaldal Farm to Crow Lake Township, Stearns County, MN. He was a member of the Crow River Lutheran Church in Kandiyohi County, MN. He was brother to my husband's great grandfather, Anon Swenson of Pope County, Lake Johanna Township, MN. Only one of Torger's children married and she didn't have any children so the album was passed on to our family and we fell heir to it several years ago. There are over 50 pictures in it and only 1 of them is identified. Some of the pictures have photographer's names on them. Two of the pictures were taken in Willmar, MN, by John Ericks, photographer. I went to Willmar's Historical Society earlier this week and the curator there said that he had to have been a photographer there before 1900 because they have researched all the photographers in Willmar back to around 1900 and John Ericks is not one of them. Torger's wife was Mari (Mary) Tollefsdatter, born 1849 in Bygland, Setersdal, Norway and she died in 1931 in Stearns County, MN. Her parents were Torstein Tollefson and Matilda or Birgit Torsteinsdatter. It is possible that some of the pictures could be of her family, but we definitely know that at least 2 of the pictures in the album are of brother's of Torger who stayed in Norway. We would be glad to send photocopies of all of the unidentified pictures to anyone who would possibly have any knowledge about this family or who would be interested in this project. Many of the pictures are from shortly after the Civil War, we think, and some of them are from CT, NY, IL. Many have been taken in Minneapolis. One has been taken in Crookston. Torger's children were: Alice (Mary Alice) Swenson, Betsy Swenson, Sven Swenson, Anne Swenson, Jorgine Swenson and Thea Swenson who married Frank Johnson and was a furrier in Duluth, MN. We have only identified 3 of the pictures and so we have a long ways to go! email me at: scm3@prodigy.net THOMPSON Photo of the Hill City baseball team my grandfather played on. My grandfather, Clarence Arthur Thompson, is the 3rd person from the right. Joan (Thompson) Perry VIEBROCK
A picture of my great-grandaunt Adelheid Viebrock recently came into
my possession. She was born Oct. 22, 1837 in Plönjeshausen, Hanover,
Germany. (I have attached the
picture.) WARNER I am searching for my "Warner" family branch and the search has taken me to Minnesota. I have attached two antique photographs that were apparently taken in the "G. Collier Studio 2005 S. Superior Street West, Duluth, Minnesota." The name "G Collier" was printed on the photocard in gold ink. It is written in script that somewhat resembles this "G. Collier." The thin sides of the photo are also covered with gold ink or other type of shiny material. The photo itself seems to have been glued to the card. I do not have a specific name for the people depicted in the photos, but by deduction they are probably Warner's. The children in the one photo and the young man in the other, bear a striking resemblance to the Warner Photos posted by Cheryl L. Parsons of Clay New York. Kevin O'Brien WESTMARK (and more)
Photos: Late 1800-Early 1900's unidentified old cardboards from MINNEAPOLIS,
MN I gained access to about 35 professional photos taken in Minneapolis MN
from various studios. They were given by "Helen" to a local bank for a Centennial
Celebration. The daughter found these in a bundle in her moms attic. Some
are from the WESTMARK family. WHETSTON/WHETSTONE I am searching for old photos of folks with the last name Whetston or Whetstone (often misspelled as Whitstan, Whitston, etc.). They mostly lived in Winona, Freeborn, Nicollet, Anoka, and Renville Counties.I can be contacted at klw_27511@yahoo.com. Thank you. YOUNGS
Can anyone identify this photo? It is likely members of the
Jesse or John J. Youngs family.
Appears to be taken very early and would date from the mid to late 1800's
and looks like a 4 generation picture. It was sent to me by a Youngs family
member, with no identifying marks on it. Can anyone help identify this photo? It came from a descendant of George Riley YOUNGS and Naomi Ann SIBLEY. George and Naomi were married in 1874 in Wisconsin, George was the son of John J.Youngs and Almeda E. Lovell. Naomi was the daughter of Phebe Ann Covey and Joseph Charles Sibley, Sr. The John J. Youngs family resided in Mazeppa, Mn. and this is likely where the picture was taken. This photo is either Naomi Ann Sibley Youngs, or her mother; Phebe Ann Covey Sibley Chapman Browning. Phebe was married (1) Joseph Charles Sibley abt. 1812 in New York state, Joseph died June 1859.(2)Royal Jessie Chapman July 1859, in Mazeppa, Mn., they were likely divorced, although no records to document such an event.(3) Alexander H. Browning July 2, 1861, Pepin county, Wi. Phebe is buried Rock Falls Cemetery, Rock Falls, Dunn county, Wisconsin in an unmarked grave between her daughter; Agnes R. Porter and Alex Browning. She died abt. Feb. 1901. Is there anyone related to this family who may have seen this picture and can make a positive identification??? I have circulated to all known family members to no avail. Please email if you can help identify anyone in these photos! Thank you. Bernie Schwindt |

Attached is the photo of an unidentified young man. It was taken at the Charles Zimmermann studio, St. Paul, MN probably ca. 1885, printed on hardboard. Possibly a copy of an earlier picture. It came to me from a source in Florida who bought it in a junk shop. It's $1.00 + the subject's name, postpaid. E-mail me, Robert I have a large photo of unknown origin with lots of people on it. No markings on it at all. Annie in Minnesota We are looking for photos taken by Simon Bangen who photographed the settlement of the Bella Coola colony in British Columbia Canada in 1894. He arrived in 1895 and returned with his family to the Crookston area in 1897. Simon was an exceptional good photographer who documented the settlers at work, at leisure and their finished homes and families. it appears that he took over 80 plate negatives while here. We have many of his in our collection but every once in awhile one will surface that was sent to relations of the Colonists in Minnesota from Bella Coola. we believe there are more out there in the Crookston area or that he kept copies of his originals. many have turned up in Norway from relations. Any information would be appreciated as to his photos or information on Simon or his descendants. Our Web page and Archival data base is in the works. Thank you, Peter Solhjell Bella Coola Valley Museum Society Picture 1 - Photographer Skrin Seth Crookston Minn. Back row fourth from left is in all of the photo's. I'm thinking that picture 2 was taken on the same day as the outfit is the same. This is probably her parents & siblings? Picture 2 - is of the same subject as #1-4 although taken at different times. Photo taken at Skrin Seth Crookston Minn. On the back of this picture is written: Miss Clara Johnson, Box 98 Euclid Minn. I don't think these are photo's of Clara. I have compared these photo's to some I have of Clara. Clara Johnson moved to Ontario in 1905 so these pics were taken before that as far as I know. Picture 3 - is again the same woman. She is perhaps pictured with her daughter (?) this time. Note that the little one is wearing the woman's brooch now. Photographer is Skrin Seth Crookston and Bagley Minn. Picture 4 - is again of the pretty lady, but this time she is pictured with who I assume is her husband and children. This is a picture postcard so there is no location or photographer. Any help in identifying who this woman is would be so great. I would love to get them back to the rightful family if they are not related to me, if they are, I would gladly make copies for anyone who can also claim relationship. Thank you, Brenda Gaetz Photo1 was taken at Skrin Seth in Crookston Minn. This lady seems to have a photo of a man in her brooch. I wonder if it is what they call funeral jewelry? Perhaps the fellow in the second photo? This woman may have resided in Crookston or Euclid. This photo was found in the trunk of my g.grandparents Peter and Barbara Johnson who resided in Euclid from 1880-1905. They also had property in Crookston during this period. Photo2 was taken at Skrin Seth in Crookston Minn. The card stock is of the same thickness as Skrin Seth photo1, so perhaps they were taken at the same time roughly. Maybe man and wife? This photo was also found in the trunk of my g.grandparents Barbara and Peter Johnson. Photo3 was taken at P.E. Lynne in Crookston Minn. I believe it is another photo of the gentleman in Photo2, but taken at a later date? This photo was also found in the trunk of my g.grandparents Peter and Barbara Johnson. I would love to be able to get these photo's back to their families. Thank you, Brenda Gaetz The first one is of an unknown man. I'm pretty sure that the cane and coat are photographer's props. This photo was in my g.grandparents trunk (Peter and Barbara Johnson). They resided in Euclid Minnesota from 1880 to 1905. This photo was probably taken before the one of the woman and the one of the man and woman together, as the card stock is a bit thinner and the studio was S. JOHNSON, Crookston Minn. Portrait & Crayon Artist.This fellow may have resided in Euclid. The second photo, I believe is of a couple on their wedding day. The woman is wearing the same dress in both photo's. She is wearing a jacket in one of them. The professional archivist I took this photo to, dates it about 1887. I think the woman is holding an envelope, perhaps containing the marriage licence? This photo was taken by S. JOHNSON, Crookston Minn. This couple may have resided in Euclid.
I would love to reunite these photo's with their family and perhaps find
out if they are related to my family. I found an old photo book!. The title of the book is Portrait Gallery! There is no names of the people on them. Put at the bottom of the photos is the name of the studio that took the pictures. The name of the studio is Rice. The address is 311 Main Street Worcester, MASS. The people in the photos is like people from the 1800's. On the back of every photo is this design and their studios name and logo or something. It also says that it is an art studio.

MN I gained access to about 35 professional photos taken in Minneapolis MN
from various studios. They were given by "Helen" to a local bank for a Centennial

are from the WESTMARK family. The tree of the family, which I am researching is located at www.twindog.com/genealogy/ . I have three photographs probably showing members but I do not know who they are and would appreciate any information. Please visit www.twindog.com/genealogy/wanted.htm Tor Persson My family has a book about Minnesota and the families that lived there. In the book is a photo of an old couple. They people used travel a long way to bake their bread in their old brick like oven...it was outside and they were the only ones to still have the oven back then. If anyone has more information please let me know. I think they were called the Wicken family but I am not sure how to spell it. The oven looked like it was made out of rocks piled liked a stove with a chimney. Desperately seeking, Rebecca My great uncle Charles Van Rensalaer Clark was a photographer at 206 Central Ave in Minneapolis and also had a studio in Delano, Minnesota in the late 1800's to probably the early 1900's his pictures had CVR Clark Studio's. We can not locate him and wondering if someone might have any of his pictures and could date them so then it would give us an idea when he was in the area. THANKS, Bob Clark. R.

The photo was probably taken about 1900 as one of the student's is Laura JOHNSON. She was born in Feb. 1880 and looks to be about 20 yrs. old. The photo was taken by Skrin Seth Crookston Minn. If anyone would like to see a close up of the group for identification purposes, I will try my best to scan a close-up and email it. Any info about this college would be wonderful to have if anyone has any information! -Brenda Here is a photo of an unidentified man, he appears to be in a military uniform. If any one knows who he is please contact Annie Chapirson. Thanks. My family got several old photoalbums from Gausdal in Oppland, Norway. Some of the photos are from USA. I do not know who these people are. I have made a web-site with the photos and I hope to get some of them identified. I would be very happy if you took time to look at my site. Thank you, Kari Høglund, Oslo, Norway - Invalid email address 31 May 2019

I have several unidentified old photos from Minnesota. Does anyone know how
I can find the dates that certain photography studios were in business? This
would help tremendously in identifying some of the photos. The photos I have
were taken in: I have a photo of a very handsome young man (late teens or early 20's) in a military uniform. It is in a folder that has a shield on the front with these words: Qualitas Servitum. Underneath is written B.C.Golling St. Paul, Minn. It is not a uniform of St. Thomas Military or Cretin High School. If I knew how to scan and send as an attachment I could do that but alas, I'm not too knowledgeable. Any suggestions as to what Military school this might be? Q1952@aol.com I have place some Minnesota Pictures on line, these are mainly pictures taken in the 1940's but there is an unknown WWI soldier and a couple taken at earlier dates. My family lived in Canby and Minneota and the surrounding countryside. I am assuming that is where these pictures were taken. I also have other photo's I will be scanning, One is a picture of a first grade class and if it is my mother's that would be 1932 or 1933, Unknown school. If you like you can view them at Minnesota Kin Home Page - Each photo/name has what description was available on it or known about it. Most of them are unknown to me at this time. Even though these have names and are "Probably" part of my family, I am willing to give the pictures to the closer relationship if found. Please look and if you see one you want to put on your page, you can either save it from the page or I will send an attchment. Thanks, Sharon Ivy , P.O.
