I have received several requests for more information about the photo studios listed here. I am sorry to say that I do not have information beyond the names listed on the photo mounts. However, if you'd like to hire me to find out more.....

I can only date this roughly 1860s-1880s, because I can't see the woman's dress very well. I'm not sure that this unlabeled photo was taken in Wisconsin. My boyfriend's great-aunt found it in her home in Sheboygan and was going to throw it out because she had no idea who the people were or whose house this was. Her niece suggested giving it to me since I'm researching their family history, and there's always the chance that these may turn out to be their relations!

This cabinet card photo of curly-haired twins (?), a boy and a girl, appears to date to the 1880s (based on the girl's dress).

Is this couple recently married? Probably late 1910s.

The larger version shows the girls' first names written around the circle. The girl in the upper left is Clara, and I bought this with some other postcards addressed to Clara Niemann at 1380 Humboldt Ave, Milwaukee, Wis. (1908) and at the Lutheran Home for the Feeble-Minded and Epileptic, Watertown, Wis. (1910).

This wedding photo dates to the early 1920s.
