Dear Cecelia, Thank you for you kind message. I hate to see someone's family pics being for sale like that but I know if I don't buy them and they may just get thrown away and I can't stand for that to happen when there are family out there looking for anything on their ancestors and they might just be theirs. I would hope someone would find pics of my family would retrieve them. Usually they don't charge much for the pics so isn't any big deal there. But just like to find the family they belong too. Thank you again for your kind words. vivian ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cecelia K Parks" <ckparks54@yahoo.com> To: <mi-genealogy@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 01, 2009 6:41 PM Subject: [MI-GENEALOGY] Recovered pictures Thank you Vivian for posting your article about the found pictures. They are not my relatives, but I just discovered that a desk drawer of such treasures were left behind during the sale of the family farm in the 1960's. The last name was WAISANEN and the farm was Rt. 2 Daggett, Menominee County, MI. I sure wish someone had those papers that were disregarded so many years ago. Thanks for being so kind.

In the Mecosta co. or surrounding areas. We were at a yard sale yesterday in Big Rapids and I found a scrap book that they were selling and found four pictures in the book. Didn't know why they were selling them unless they found them a house that they bought. The first picture looks to be about maybe in the very late 1800's to the early 1900's as the dresses are knee length. There is a log cabin behind them with a barn next to it. There is two men and two women with a child about 3or 4 years of age. and on the back is written grandpa and grandma Benkerski or Benherski and Aunt Hattie, Vernon or Veron, Char Slakajlys. It is hard to read the writting so maybe actually spelled differently. Two of the other pics are senior pictures one of Tom Stefonek 1964 and Bernard Schulz graduate 1949. And the last picture is a group pic of Rhinelander's Junior High School Band. Class of 1949/1950. If anyone who maybe related to these families please let me know and I will give you the pictures. I did not want them to get throw out as so many do. Sorry that this is so long. Vivian Brandal ***************************** The theme of this list is Michigan genealogy and research.
