Hi Folks: I've just uploaded a number of new and interesting photos to the Baltimore City Nineteenth-Century Photos website. http://freepages.hobbies.rootsweb.com/~ruppert/ If you are searching for Schmidt ancestors, you're in luck as two submitters have sent in quite a number of photos from unrelated Schmidt families. A few weeks ago, I found a **really** interesting album in a local antique shop. It's very small, leather bound and contains 12 CDVs (carte de visite photos) that date from roughly 1855 to 1868! It appears to have been owned by a Baltimorean but there are images from outside the city as well. Unfortunately, only one Baltimore image is identified, that of Anna Davis a young girl from roughly 1865. There are two other identified photos, one of Alexander Goodridge and the other Robert Grimshaw. Both are from studios outside Baltimore, but Grimshaw's includes his birthdate, 7 Feb 1788! A great photo of an elderly gent with top hat and walking stick. To view the entire album, you must go to the photo of Anna Davis (use the index) and then click on the slide show on her page. It's a new technique for me. There are a bunch of other photos that I want to upload soon, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Stay Tuned!
