There is a good chance that one of these two groups may be able to assist Bill Patterson in his search of the Wheelan Studio formerly in Smith Bridgeman's. I certainly would try both of them, if I were him.

If you have the old address, check and see if the current occupants know what happened to the studio's records. Someone may have bought the business, and still run it at the same location, under a new name. Also check to see if someone bought the business and runs a studio in a new location. They may have the old records and negatives. If any of the studios listed in the phonebook advertise that they have been in business, for a lot of years, call them, and ask about the records you need. Ask if they know anyone who worked there, etc. Jay ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary" <marymary@ameritech.net> To: <MIGENESE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: 22 March, 2002 1:17 PM Subject: Re: [MIGENESE] Re: MIGENESE-D Digest V02 #40 > Hi, > Smith B's has been gone for many many years,and I checked the Flint phone > book and found no Wheelan under photography. > Good luck! > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <Patter1932@aol.com> > To: <MIGENESE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 12:37 PM > Subject: [MIGENESE] Re: MIGENESE-D Digest V02 #40 > > > > Hello > > Can anyone tell me if there is a photographic studio "WHEELAN STUDIO, > SMITH > > BRIDGMAN & Co." in Flint ,MI., or there successor? > > I have an old photograph with the numbers "2F 11530-8 15" on the bottom > of > > the photo and I think it is my uncle George Dewey Patterson who lived in > > Flint, MI. > > Thanks for any help. > > > > Bill Patterson > > patter1932@aol.com > > 301 Mallard Rd. > > Perrysburg, Ohio > > 43551 > > 419.874.6177 > > > >
