Shelley Cardiel rescues photographs from flea markets, eBay, you name it. She does what research she can to identify the family and then posts her findings on mailing lists, message boards, and photo sites in an attempt to reunite the pictures with family. What she does is awesome. I contacted her recently to see if she thought including them here might help. I hope it does! Please contact Shelley if you have information about her photos or project.
I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of George THOMAS which was taken at the Childs Studio in Ishpeming, MI in the 1880’s. George appears to be in his 20’s at the time. I believe that this may be a photograph taken at the occasion of his college graduation, so it is possible that he isn’t from Ishpeming but just attended school there, I don’t know for sure but mention that possibility just in case. I’d like to be able to return the photograph to his family and would appreciate you contacting me if you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be.
Thanks,
Shelley
