My Great-Grandfather Elwood Walker Smith in 1880 taken on his wedding day in York, PA.

My great aunt Leonora in Montigny-sur-Loing, France in 1902 with two unidentified gentlemen.

This is one of my favorite photos of my great aunt on a buckboard with an unidentified man. Somewhere in Michigan near Detroit or Grand Rapids. Circa 1900.

Another of my great Aunt, likely on Lake Michigan or nearby. Circa 1900.

This was in my grandfather's photo album. It's either a family member or a friend. Likely in Michigan, near Grand Rapids or Ann Arbor. Circa 1900.

A photo of my great aunt, likely on Lake Michigan. Circa 1899.

This is a portrait of my second great grandmother, circa 1868, when she was approximately 16 years old. Likely taken in Owosso, Shiawassee county, Michigan

My grandfather, Orest Caselli, born 1895, and his sister Catherine, born 1893. Photo taken in the studio of G. Dobkin, New York City, 1914. This along with another one are the oldest known photos of him, and this is the only known photo of her. They came to America (along with 4 other sisters) from Northern Italy via Ellis Island in 1911.

My Grandfather Ray Kenitzer Sr. seen earlier with the Blatz Brewery softball team. This photo is from 1928 when he was playing on the line for the Milwaukee Badgers.

This was my dad celebrating his 16th birthday in Palm Canyon near the Impossible Railroad, Jacumba, Ca.

My first grade class picture at the Jefferson School, Succasunna, Roxbury Township, Morris County, NJ. I am in the back row, second over from the teacher. Check out her big hair.

To my knowledge, all of the schools in Roxbury Township, except for the high school, were named for presidents.

Blatz Brewery Softball team Milwaukee, circa 1940. My Grandfather, Ray Kenitzer, is in the back row, 3rd from the left.

Earl Erdner's 1976 Mercury station wagon parked in front of one of his "Busy Corner" locations in either Salem or Gloucester County, New Jersey, late 1970s. 8"x10" photo I purchased at an antique shop.

All the "Erdner's Busy Corner" buildings still exist, but the business is long gone.

This photo was given to me by my then girlfriend about 15 years ago. She worked at a nursing home and had found it in the effects of a patient who had passed away with no family.

Location and photographer unknown. I'm guessing the wagon belonged to a traveling preacher. From memory I think the print is about 3"x6". If I can find it again, I will try to scan it at a higher resolution.

The Motor Shop, front counter, Barnegat, NJ, 1926. This was my great Uncle Sam's auto repair shop. He is the one at left. I'm not sure who the one is at right. He may be one of his brothers. 5"x7" photo purchased at an antique shop, which ironically is in the building next door to this one. This building now houses a flooring and carpet business.
