> Our family has old photos from the LaSalle and Livingston counties. I am writing to the Chicago list because it is thought that perhaps this family moved to Chicago. Our ancestor, Johann Juergen Meyer married Mary Timm, each had children from their previous marriages. My brother in law is in possession of an album which has many photographers photos and they list various Timm children and their spouses. If anyone is interested in this family line, please contact me privately and I can put you in touch with the person who has the album. We have removed all the pictures of our direct ancestors but all these beautiful pictures exist and it would be nice to return them to whoever might be interested. Sophie > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
