Photo Albums

I love albums like this. The previous owner wrote what she recalled about nearly every photo. Not only are people identified but there is genealogical information given freely. Relationships, ancestry and even history of the surname changes.

This Civil War Era album is in bad shape itself but the photos are flawless. That is the beauty of finding an all tintype album. The photos look like they could have been taken yesterday, except for the outrageous fashions.

The names in this album include:

William Weed - "Grandfather of Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine & of Pearl Hesseltine Davis",
Nellie (Ellen?) Hesseltine Bullis & George Edward Hesseltine - "Their father Walter Hesseltine was born in England in County of Kent", Pearl Hesseltine Davis,
Sarah Weatherwax Hesseltine "Wife of Walter Hesseltine - She was Half Scottish and Half Dutch Ancestry",
James Herbert Hesseltine "son of Sarah and Walter Hesseltine",
Jane Lyon Weed "wife of William Weed - Mother of Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine",
George Hesseltine and Nellie (Ellen?) Hesseltine,
Pearl Hesseltine "daughter of Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine and James Herbert Hesseltine"
Spraque Girls "related to Jane Lyon Weed in some way",
Sister of Jane Lyon Weed,
George Edward Hesseltine,
Nellie (Ellen?) Hesseltine Bullis & Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine,
Charles Hesseltine "cousin of George Edward (Hesseltine), James Herbert (Hesseltine) & Nellie Hesseltine Bullis. He had no children", Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine,
Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine,
George Hesseltine and Nellie (Ellen Hesseltine) "Brother and Sister",
James Herbert Hesseltine - Elizabeth Ellen Weed Hesseltine "husband and wife"
Walter Hesseltine "husband of Sarah Weatherwax Hesseltine"
One of Jane Lyon Weed's sisters,
Nellie (Ellen?) Hesseltine Bullis and Elizabeth Weed Hesseltine "sisters-in-law"
And along with the photos, this helpful note:- Name was also spelled Hazelton but originally as above - but maybe with only one "s"

Kuehn / Miller / Stotz Family Civil War Era Album from Wisconsin

This wonderful red cloth covered album is 4.5" x 5.5" x 2" thick.
As a matter of fact there are 13 tintypes and 10 Carte de Vistas.

My research is not conclusive but from all appearances,
this album belonged to Mrs. Bernie F. Miller.
A beautiful tintype shows her and her husband.
It’s still in it’s paper holder from Stark, Wisconsin.

Ma, Pa, Mr. Stoltz and Ida Stoltz are all shown in a rare tintype
group shot, taken in Tomah, Monroe County, Wisconsin.
Two matching tintypes show Ida Stoltz & Mr. Stoltz.
Are these aunt and uncle to Mrs. Miller?

One tintype shows Mrs. William Sommerfield
& Millie Hofman in matching dresses and stylish hats.

Arnold Keene and George Keene same photographer photo taken in
Norwalk, Wis. (so probably brothers). A third unnamed photo by the same
photographer shows what is probably one of the brothers (or a third one).

And in matching photos taken in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Henery Keene
and “Ma’s sister” - same photographer so probably man and wife.

And dramatic photos of William Kuehn and Aunt Kuehn
from Tomah, Wisconsin - suggest another aunt and uncle.

And finally a drawing of mustashed hero and a 150 year old Valentine.

I recently purchased an 1865 embossed leather album that has lots of identified family photos.

in Nunda, Livingston, New York and died in 1937 in the same town.
He married Mary Louisa Page who was born about 1847 and died Dec 4,1920 both in Nunda, Livingston, New York.

of people's children, etc. The people in the photos are identified as follows:

Ed Page,
John Page,
Deacon Albert Page,
