    1. GEITNER - CARTER Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Earl Francis GEITNER which was taken at the Baldwin Studio in Sacramento, California. The photograph appears to have been taken sometime in the 1880's with Earl's age noted as 7 months and 3 weeks at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to find information regarding Earl Francis GEITNER b. 8 Aug 1890 in Sacramento, CA to parents Lewis S. GEITNER and Mary E. CARTER. Earl Francis GEITNER died 10 Sept 1958 in San Francisco, CA. In 1900 the family was living in Sutter, CA with census records providing the following information: Lewis S. GEITNER, age 52, born Nov 1847, married 11 years, born OH, parents born NY/OH, a Teamster Mary E. GEITNER, wife, age 47, born Nov 1853, married 11 years, 8 children/6 living, born WI, parents born NY/VT Earl F. GEITNER, son, age 9, born Aug 1890, born CA Ethel M. GEITNER, dau, age 8, born Jan 1892, born CA Mattie C. NILES, step-dau, age 23, born Aug 1876, born CA, parents born NY/WI, a School Teacher John J. NILES, step-son, age 22, born Dec 1877, born CA, parents born NY/WI, Railroad Shop Car Sealer Laura S. NILES, step-dau, age 18, born Feb 1882, born CA, parents born NY/WI, at School Bradford CARTER, nephew, age 21, born Sept 1879, born OR, parents born WI/OR, Railroad Shop Car Sealer Guessing that the NILES children are from Mary E. GEITNER's first marriage and Bradford CARTER is her brother's son. In 1910 I find the family still living in Sutter, CA with census records providing the following information: Louis GEITNER, age 62, 2nd marriage 21 years, born OH, parents US born, a Teamster Mary E. GEITNER, wife, age 56, 2nd marriage 21 years, 8 children/6 living, born WI, parents born NY/VT Jabes NILES, step-son, age 32, born CA, parents born NY/WI, a Real Estate Office Worker Laura NILES, step-dau, age 28, born CA, parents born NY/WI, a Primary School Teacher Earl F. GEITNER, son, age 19, born CA, a Railroad Brakeman In 1920 I can only find the Lewis GEITNER Family living in Sacramento, CA with census records providing the following information: Lewis G. GEITNER, age 72, born OH, parents born NY/OH, a House Contractor Mary M. E. GEITNER, wife, age 66, born WI, parents born NY/VT I'm hoping to locate someone from this GEITNER Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
