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 identified only as M. MCLAUGHLIN which was taken at the Childs Studio in Ishpeming, MI sometime in the 1890’s. The woman in the photograph appears to be in her teens or 20’s at the time. I believe that this may be a photograph taken as part of a high school or college graduation, so it is possible that she was attending school in Ishpeming and not actually from there, I just don’t know for sure. I am hoping to be able to return the photograph to her family. If you are a member of this MCLAUGHLIN Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
