Surnames: Rodin, Weber, Uhrich
If anyone is able to either help with deciphering and translating what's on these photos, or else pointing me in the right direction to get such help, I'd be so, so grateful. I'm not sure how many can be uploaded to a post, so I'm going to divide them into two batches- so please don't assume I've duplicate a post... It'll have the 2nd group.

**EDIT: the third one doesn't show the image until you click on the square- I guess it a bigger file)**

In case it helps, here's a bit of family info, and then the attachments (both sides scanned):
• These belonged to my great-grandma Domna Weber, she was born c. 1888 in Nal'chik to dad August Weber (1857-1915) & mom possibly Dazia or Ada (d. abt 1890).
• Full blood siblings: Peter & maybe Amalia. Her dad August remarried Katherina Uhrich and 1892-1904 they had Minnie, Herman, Lesa/Lizzie, Lydia, and William, and in 1907, they all immigrated to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
• Domna married Constantine "Charles" Rodin c.1915. His passport gives Moscow as place of birth, but on a crew list once he gave a place called Vendimir.

Thanks so much for helping me out!!!

1st photo: 29th of December 1901.
For memory to my dear sister Yulia Augustovna (daughter of August) Weber from Yekaterina Philippovna (daughter of Phillip) Weber.
2nd photo: We were photographed in our yard in 1920. In the picture Mom, Fedya and one of our friend (woman).
Address on the envelope:
N. Pyatigorsk, Krestyanskaya street, 36 apt. 2. Uvarova N. I.

N. Pyatigorsk is Novopyatigorsk, now district of Pyatigorsk. The Krestyanskaya street is called Palmiro Togliatti street today. Here is that house in the map of Pyatigorsk - https://www.google.ru/maps/place/Piatigorsk,+Kraj+Stawropols....
Uvarova is surname.
In the last photo is written: Mikhail 26 years.
Natalia.

Oh my goodness, Natalia, I can't possibly tell you how much this means to me and how much I appreciate it!

I couldn't help it, I started to cry I was so happy! And how sweet of you to go out of your way to find out not just where that address is, but giving me the street view so I could see the house! Thank you!

I have more photos to post, and I even have letters etc that I'll be posting as well, and again, if you're able to help it would be awesome, I just hope I don't annoy you- I don't want you to feel obligated because of doing one already...

Большое спасибо !!! Вы очень добры, чтобы помочь мне !
