    1. COONROD Family Photographs
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" a group of four photographs all identified as members of the COONRAD or CONRAD Family of New York. The first photograph is identified as Edith STREETER COONRAD. The photograph was taken at the C. R. Clark Studio in Troy, NY, probably sometime in the 1870's or 1880's with Edith appearing to be in her teens or early 20's at the time. In addition to her name, someone has written "Mother of Mildred COONRAD (GUMMER)" on the back of the photograph. The second photograph is one of Hattie COONRAD (GEOWEY) and was taken at the A. Corden Studio in Troy, NY. This photograph appears to have been taken in the 1860's or 1870's, though a notation on the back states that she was born April 15, 1880. The girl in the photograph appears to be the same one pictured in the first photograph (Edith STREETER COONRAD) so I'm wondering if this photograph might be misidentified. The third photograph is identified as Edith COONRAD. Taken at the A. E. Warnica Studio in Troy, NY, the photograph is dated Dec 1899 and notes that Edith is 40 years old. The photograph appears to have been a gift "Merry Christmas - To Mildred - From Momma" suggesting that Mildred was her daughter. The fourth photograph is one of Mr. J. W. CONRAD of Center Brunswick, NY and was also taken at the A. E. Warnica Studio in Troy, NY. This photograph is dated 6 March 1900, indicates that Mr. CONRAD is 44 years old and is addressed "To Mildred". The name "Papa" is also noted on the back of the photograph leading me to believe that Edith and J. W. CONRAD were married and parents to Mildred as well. Based on limited research I believe that these photographs may all belong to the family of Joseph W. COONROD or COONRADT. Records indicate that Joseph W. COONROD was born in Brunswick, NY to parents Jacob P. & Jane M. COONROD. I find Joseph living with his own family in Brunswick, NY during the 1880 census with records providing the following information: Joseph W. COONRADT, age 24, born in NY, a Milk Peddler, parents born in NY Edith M. COONRADT, wife, age 22, born in NY, Keeping House, parents born in NY Hattie E. COONRADT, dau, age 2 months, born in NY Carrie M. HALL, other, age 9, born in NY, parents born in NY In 1900 Joseph COONRAD is recorded in the census still living in Brunswick, NY: Joseph W. COONRAD, age 43, born Nov 1856, married 22 years, born in NY, parents born in NY, a Blacksmith M. Edith COONRAD, age 41, born June 1858, married 22 years, 2 children/2 living, born in NY, parents born in VT/NY Hattie E. COONRAD, age 20, born Apr 1880, born in NY, a Crayon Artist Mildred COONRAD, age 6, born Aug 1893, born in NY In 1920 Joseph COONRAD is recorded in the census still living in Brunswick, NY: Joseph COONRAD, age 63, born in NY, parents born in NY, an Automobile Worker Edith M. COONRAD, wife, age 60, born in NY, parents born in NY Hattie C. GOWEY, dau, age 39, widow, born in NY, a Milliner J. M. GOWEY, grandson, age 12, born in NY, parents born in NY I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
