A pair of photos from Kingman. The studio mark on the back is G. S. MOORE PHOTOGRAPHER New Lisbon, Ohio. Labels were attached to the front identifying the couple, who were obviously photographed at the same time.

I purchased a box of photos at an estate sale here in Tucson for $20. Very few of the photos had names on them, but luckily there were a set of letters written in 1927 that identified them as belonging to the Henry Colt family. The letters were written by a teenaged girl to the son of the family. She was at a summer camp in Maine. They didn't provide much useful information other than a name and address. Letter to Henry Colt, Olivetas Street, La Jolla, California. The photos were of a variety of people. The oldest three are of a child, a pair of young women, and a group of men posed in front of a log cabin. Unidentified child. Two unidentified women. On the back: Eatons. I researched the Henry Colt family and was able to identify the people in most of the photographs. Henry Orne Colt was born on 29 July 1881 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, son of William Francis Colt and Alice Orne. [1] The family has not been located on the 1880 census. On 6 June 1900, Henry lived with his mother,...

A photo with minimal information. Can I identify the family? I purchased a lot of photos from an estate sale auction. This one was in a modern frame. I could see the photographer's studio mark- E. J. STONE, DEXTER, MICH. When I removed the photo from the frame, I found TODD FAMILY on its back. Who were these people? I went to the Directory of Early Michigan Photographers available online here . Edmund J. Stone operated his studio in Dexter, Washtenaw County, Michigan between 1898 and 1907. Todd Family, front of photo. Back of photo. Examining the photograph, the family appears to have been, arranged by age: 1). Adult male (father) 2). Adult female (mother) 3). Oldest child- male 4). Second oldest child- male 5). Third oldest child- female 6). Fourth oldest child- female 7). Fifth oldest child- male 8). Infant, unknown sex  On Ancestry.com I then searched the 1900 census for Dexter, Washtenaw County, Michigan for the surname Todd. No results. I broadened the search to the entire Was...

Two more photographs. They are by the C. A. Carlson studio at 1509 Fifth Street in West Superior, Wisconsin. The first has written in black ink on the back is "Mr. & Mrs. Matson." The scone has written in black ink on the back "The Matson children September 1895." So I started by looking at the 1900 census for Douglas County, Wisconsin where West Superior is. There were 27 Matsons. There were four heads of households. None of them had five children. I then searched Matsons throughout Wisconsin, and found that there were 572. I checked the counties bordering Douglas County- Bayfield, Burnett, Ashland, and Washburn- and failed to find any matches. So these people will remain unidentified for now.
