It's been a while since the last public announcement about updates to Baltimore City 19th-Century Photos, although new images are added regularly. Today, I've uploaded a number of interesting pictures. Some of the surnames include: Byer, Hesse, Muehlberger, Smoot and others. The photo of Ella May Byer, a tintype of an infant is somewhat unique because it includes the mother's hand holding a baby bottle. The Smoot photos cover roughly 40 or more years and include a great grandfather and his great grandson. One of my favorites, I've labelled "Smoot ... maybe." This is an 1890s photo made by a traveling photographer of a young couple on their front stoop. Lots of attitude! Please stop by for a visit at: http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~ruppert/index.html For those unfamiliar with this site, it is a collection of **identified** subjects from 19th century Baltimore City photo studios. Feel free to visit and contribute. THANKS Gary 30 May 2004 Baltimore http://home.att.net/~g.ruppert

We were a family of migrant workers from late 1940's to 1961 ~ Picking fruit, vegetables & cotton. If anyone seen the movie "Grapes of Raft" by John Steinbeck, the characters depicted in that movie were consider high class compared to my family. We live outdoors and in CC camps from March to October every year where there was something needed picking. One interesting thing happened with regularly and noone in my family knows why. But it seem everytime my father was short on money we would stop off in Chicago and he would leave mom and us kids waiting in the car for hours while he took off to see someone. We always new when he came back he would have money for gas and food. If we didn't go to Chicago, he could make a phone call to someone and we would wait for mail to arrive General Delivery no matter where we were. Someone out there must have info on this person.
