This is all so old and I just started the Tree this year. Edith Melcher was my GGrandmother. My Grandmother who was married to Edith's Son Andrew Clyde Taylor just passed away this last Nov and she had all of Edith's scrapbooks. And Edith was into scrapbooks.
The Melchers in her family: Father: Gerhard Heinrich Melcher (Born: 1839), Mother, Regula Karolina Von Vaterlaus (Born: 1863), Mary Rachel Melcher (Born: 1890), Salina Ellen Melcher (Born: 1892), Ella Melcher (Born: 1892),Edith Meline Melcher (Born: 1895), Clara Louisa Melcher (Born: 1896)Henry John Melcher (Born: 1898),Marie Laura Melcher (Born: 1900), Emelia Melcher (Born: 1902), Margaret Gertrude Melcher (Born: 1907.
Literally hundreds of pictures of the Melchers from Ohio and Waterville Kansas. About a quarter labled. Most in very bad shape with a few outstanding exceptions.These scrap books have started both my husband and I in a new hobby (addition), photo restoration. I am getting them up as fast as family/job allows.
Would LOVE to talk to anyone interested in this line or just researching in general. I am a beginner but I am hooked!
