Found Photo of Josephine Harris

Glenda_Sorrells — 2009-12-18 17:19:36Z

I'm am of no kin to the Harris family so I have no information on them. I found a photo of Josephine Harris as a infant while looking through a thrift store. There is only her name wrote on the back of the photo. Thought it maybe of help to someone. The thrift store is located at the Bristol Virginia/ Tennessee border. Hope it is of help to someone. Blessings: Glenda

Re: Muriel Weagant/photograph

SusanMerkley — 2009-12-17 11:40:32Z

OK Clark...
A James Weagant b.26 June 1877 in Riverside (Morrisburg) Ontario married a Edith Loucks of Williamsburg Twp Dundas Co. in Riverside in 1901 or 1902..and then shortly left for California.

Muriel was their daughter; she had two siblings Gladys and Ora.

Edith Loucks' parents were John Loucks and Mary Phifer...I have not been able to figure out who this Mary Phifer was. I have not been able to find any connection but she came from Williamsburg and is more than likely connected to my Phifers...but no joy yet.

Happy Hunting and let me know if you 'crack the case' or if I can be of any more help.

Hi Sue,Thank you for the photo scanning offer but I don't know if this WEAGANT line is the one I am interested in. Maybe later. I will be doing considerably more WEAGANT work in the geographic area between Brockville and Cornwall. If I come across any PHIFERS (or related spellings) I will let you know. Nice to make contact with you.

Lillian and Gladys Harris - 1907 photo - Trying to find their family

CaroleAMay — 2009-12-17 00:27:20Z

I have an original photo of Lillian and Gladys Harris that was taken in 1907. On the from of the matt framing, is carved "Burnham" On the reverse of the photo frame reads: Lillian and Gladys Harris 1907 for Jessie *e**it (last not legible). I found it at an old antique shop in Illinois. They said that when photos and other documents don't sell, they throw them away. They were getting ready to do just that. This is a true original photo of these two little girls at a young age. The baby looks like she may be 1 1/2 - 2 years of age and the older girl approx 5-7 years old. They are very cute posed together. I bought the photo with a mission to find its' rightful owners. I am searching for the family with this last name who may be the rightful owners. My only intention is to re-coup what I paid for them so they can return home where they belong. I did not want them to go into the trash, as I know what it means from my own searching what finding lost family photos, wills, marriage certificates means. Some appear to be wedding or anniversary photos. Starting my own search really has made me addicted and anytime I come across labeled photos or documents from now on, I am grabbing them to find their true owners. Family photos alone are treasures, but this is not my family treasure and may be yours. Anyone with any info, please contact me at calmquills@gmail.com. Thank you

Re: Muriel Weagant/photograph

SusanMerkley — 2009-12-15 12:28:10Z

Dear Clark:

I haven't done very much along these lines as I am not sure if these folks fit into any of my trees. Like I said, I bought a bunch of photographs at auction many years ago and got curious about the people, not many of whom were identified. As it turned out, the photos were of many people in the Herriman family of Dundas Co. and as it happens,these Herrimans married into my father's line of Phifers. A bunch of people from Dundas Co. around 1900 ended up in California, including a few Phifers (who changed the spelling of their name to Pifer...no wonder I couldn't find them!)

There were/are lots of Weagants in Dundas Co. and if I come across any whom might be related to you, I'll get in touch.
If you think Muriel Weagant b. 1903 in Sacramento California might be related, I can scan the photo and send a copy (hopefully I can find it...I packed the photos away after scanning and then Hydro One, the power company, blipped my computer and wiped my hard drive!
For now
Sue in Canada

Re: Muriel Weagant/photograph

biolung — 2009-12-14 21:06:20Z

I think I may be related to this family. My grandmother was Laura Augusta Weagant, B. 1871 in Ontario, Canada possibly in the area of North Cosby. She died in Saskatoon in 1908. She was married to Robert Clark, Born in Battersea, North Cosby, Ontario in 1870.He died a year later in 1909. They left 5 children, one of whom was my mother, Addie Mae Clark. She went to live with her father's cousin George Clark. His wife, (his second) was Sarah Jane Loucks.
Have you been in touch with David Wyatt of Winnipeg, Manitoba in Canada regarding the Wyatts/Weagants? He has done a lot of work on these names.
Thank you for your posting.

Mrs. C. T. Crosby - Redwood, NY

maryann_andersen — 2009-11-23 10:33:03Z

I have a very nice photo of Mrs. C.T. Crosby that I found in an antique shop in Stillwater, MN. The photo was taken in Watertown (NY?), but on the back of the picture it is written that Mrs. Crosby was from Redwood, NY. The photo was probably done in the 1890's or so, and Mrs. Crosby looks to be about 40-50 yrs. old. I would like to send this to someone who may be related. Please email me directly at

I recently purchased this book which was privately printed by Francis Crowninshield, son of Benjamin. There is a wonderful photo of Benjamin taken in 1837, and a photo taken of him during the Civil War. He attended Harvard and was a member of the rowing team.

I believe this book would be a treasure to anyone with an interest in the Crowninshield family.

Re: Lysander Hopkins - Derby Line, VT

JoyceWylie2007 — 2009-11-12 01:03:47Z

I'm happy to send you the photo, Brad, but I'm beginning to wonder if we're talking about the same Lysander Hopkins. He was born about 1853 in Quebec and married Lavinia Drew about 1875. They had 4 children: (1) Hattie Ella, b 1877 in Fairfax, Quebec who married Charles M. Nason and died Sep 22, 1948 in Derby Line, VT (2) Ezra, b 1879 Quebec and died before 1910 (3) Martha J., b 1887 married Everett Hunt and died after 1948 (4) Warren D. b 1895 d aft 1948.

It appears Lysander was the son of Warren Clark Hopkins, b 1817 USA and Susan Humphrey, b 1813 USA.

I'm thinking your Lysander is a different man, but if you think it is the same one I will send you the photo.

Re: Found - 2 Morrison bracelets

Celticfan — 2009-11-10 15:47:46Z

Sorry, my mistake. He probably would have been in the Vietnam war 1960-1975. The Korean War was 1950-1953 which would have made him only 6-9 years old.
Vietnam war would make him 17-31 years old.

He would only be about 65 years old now.

Let em know.

Re: Found - 2 Morrison bracelets

Celticfan — 2009-11-10 15:27:17Z

So glad to hear from someone about this. I spoke with a friend that was in the Navy and he thought that considering the DOB: 1-5-44 that this person could have been in the Korean War.
If you can show info that these tags might be from your family. Please let me know. I can send pictures to you email if you like.

Photo needs to be returned to family

lastonestanding — 2009-11-04 16:13:31Z

I have for several months been trying to locate someone who might be related to these 2 young boys in the photo. I think they may have been from Nebraska.
In an antique shop recently I bought a wonderful photo for very little money. on it is written:For Ralph, Franklin Baker DeWolfe aged 3 years and 1 month. Charles Howard DeWolfe aged 1 year and 9 months. Merry Xmas 1913. I would love to see it returned for the price to the family.
When I checked all I could find was Franklin Baker Dewolfe born and died in St. Stephen, Charlotte Co. NB. son of walter and mary.
Charles howard DeWolfe born 1912 in St. Stephen Parish in Charlotte co. NB. died 1993 son of Walter and Mary.
I don't know if it is now spelled DeWolfe or Dewolfe. If anyone out there is related and would like this photo please email me at marnadeats@hotmail.com
I can only assume this info is the same 2 little boys together in the photo.

Hall family photos

LSPEGAL — 2009-10-18 08:21:01Z

I have from estate items a few HALL & unknown photos that I would love to pass on to a family member, if anyone's related or interested, please let me know. I only request postage cost.

1) written on back: C.D Hall Washington D.C. Aug. 1888 (I'm not a great guesser at ages but he may be between 30-50??
photo by Kensington Art Studio, Marshall & Gilling Artists & Studio, Washington D.C., 819 Penna. Ave.

2) written on back: Edward Winslow Hall, Sept. 29, 1878, aged 1 year, 29 days. Photo by A. Scidmore Photographer, Appleton,WI.

3) written on back: Bernard Winslow Hall, 10 months. that's all it says, no photographer.

4) This was among these photos and may or may not be related, but I'm listing it and perhaps someone might recognize the name?
written on back: Mrs. D or O (the surname's hard to be sure on, I'm just guessing) looks like Larfee? Larkee? use your imagination, I tired census searches for possible names in the town the photo was taken in, but no luck, they may have travelled there for photos. Anyhow, under the above inscription is written Anna. This is an older woman.
C. B. Manville Photographer, Neenah,WI.

5) I don't know if this ones connected either, it has no writing, but am adding it because it's also a WI photographer:
Fadner Studio, Hamilton Hall, Berlin,WI, it's an older photo or perhaps has seen more sunlight, it's lighter but still visible, and of an older woman.

6) Lastly, also with no writing or photographer, a photo of two girls, one abt 10-14 maybe and one about 4-6 I'd guess.

These may not all be related, but they were all together, so I kept them together just in case.

Looking for friends of Catherine Donohue in autograph album

bettymclaughlin59 — 2009-10-16 05:17:19Z

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I found an autograph album that my aunt had when she lived on 31 Norton st. in New Haven, CT. in 1926 .
Lots of her friends wrote in it and i wonder if they are still alive. I am sure it is her autograph book from high school, she would have been 18. The dates are 1926 and my aunt was born in New Jersey Feb. 8,1908 .
Catherine is deceased but i was not sure if her friends were too.
I am the niece of Catherine Donohue. I will give the names to anyone who writes me and kne Catherine, she retired after 47 yrs from the Knights of Columbus Insurance Company, New Haven, CT. in 1969.
