My Polish GGrandparents were married in Red Jacket, Mi on Oct. 1, 1889 and their wedding portrait was taken by Rickard studios as well. It is identical to the one taken by Rickard studios you have attached. She was wearing the dark dress and white veil although they were both standing with their hands on a Bible. Can't identify the people in the photos, thought, sorry! -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Martin, Joseph" <[email protected]> > > Please help me identify the Polish families in these Michigan studio photos. > http://picasaweb.google.pl/ceil.jensen/Martin?authkey=0Ovjh7Jx63g > > These studios are known to have taken many Polish ancestors' portraits; one here > from Red Jacket and the others from Detroit.
