Apparetly, the youngest daughter was not caught on film. Photographer was Augustus SHERMAN, an immigration employee who also photographed immigrants from 1905-1920, and whose photographs are now a part of the Ellis Island museum's collection. [This photo was submitted several years ago, and when checking, the links are not currently active. However, I believe he still resides at his provided address. Art Cohan, 1202 Rio Hondo Road, Harlingent, TX 78550.

This photo was submitted several years ago by Phillip Nensel [pnensel@msn.com] I believe my great grandfather, Berthold Nensel, took group pictures of the Tenafly High School year books. I have scanned some of the original prints from about 1930. I can estimate the year of this one because my grandfather, Emil Nensil (class of 1931) is in this picture (second row, far left). I do not know any of the other people in this picture, however.

This business card was submitted several yeas ago by Sharon Reach Korsman, Glen Rock, NJ. This is a business card from my great grandfather's funiture business. The card itself tells much of what youu might want to know. The year is 1920's and 1930's; however the business may have existed well before that as the card says 40 years' experience. We believe the business was brought over from England and that also may explain the 40 years. They immigrated in 1887. Joseph S. Freestone was married to Sarah Farrington, and they lived on Maple Avenue, as well as having his business on Maple. My aunt still talks about the horse hair bed mattresses! Their children are: Susan, Frederick, Florence (Agnes), Hazel, Ernest, Matthew born between 1881 and 1899.

This photo was submitted several years ago by Richard Cliton Seitz. Borden Dairy Distribution plant at 163 State Street in Hackensack. The date is about 1910 since one of the men is Alfred Clinton SEITZ [1881-1938] who was listed as a mlk wagon driver in the 1910 US Census. We do not know which one he is. This would be the only photo of him that the family would have. If you can help identify the people in this photo, we can start posting them for others who may visit this site and helpt to find Mr. SEITZ for the family.

This photo was submitted several years ago by Sunrise0460@aol.com. This is a photo of my Grandmother Eleanor Genevieve Hutchinson, taken in the mid 1920's at Palisades Amusemnt Park, Cliffside Park, NJ. She was a resident of Palisades Park and Bogata, NJ.

This photo was also submitted several years ago by Marion Travis. The photo is believed to be one of my Travers, McCabe, Mullaly or Bottomley ancestors who immigrated to America from Ireland. The Travers, McCabe and Mullalys came circa 1840's. The Bottomleys came over in the 1870's.

The original photo is approximately 2 1/4 by 3 1/2 inches. On the back of the photo is the following: K. Kraus, Photographer - Carlstadt. A part of Carlstadt is not readable, but I believe from my research that is Carlstadt, New Jersey, as there seems to be no other Carlstadt in the United States. I am hoping that someone will be able to help me date the photograph if the period of time that H. Kraus was in business in Carlstadt can be ascertained.

Again, this photo submitted several yeas ago by Judith Courte Ullman. James Courter and Hannah (Forshee) Courter Family (1775-1880).

The picture was given to me by Barbara (Hugg) Burghardt and came from the house of Harold and Emma (Cable) Courter after they died in Fairfield, Essex, NJ.
