I've "rescued" a group of photographs belonging to the SCHACHTEL Family of New York. The first is a photograph of George SCHACHTEL which was taken at the Edsall Studio in New York City, NY. The photograph was likely taken in the 1880's with George appearing to be in his teens at the time. The second is a photograph of Lena SCHACHTEL, also taken at the Edsall Studio in New York City and again, likely sometime in the 1880's with Lena likely in her teens or 20's at the time. The third photograph is identified as Edna SCHACHTEL and was taken at the Leeson Studio in New York City. This photograph was probably taken in the 1880's as well with Edna just a toddler at the time it was taken. The fourth photograph is also of Edna SCHACHTEL, taken at the Schill Studio in Newark, New Jersey. This photograph appears to have been taken in the 1890's with Edna probably about 6 years old at the time. Based on limited research I was able to locate this family in census records as follows: 1880 census of New York City, NY: Michael SCHACHTEL, age 48, a Butcher, born Germany, parents born Germany Elizabeth SCHACHTEL, wife, age 52, born Germany, parents born Germany William SCHACHTEL, son, age 23, a Butcher, born NY Lizzie SCHACHTEL, dau, age 21, born NY Michael SCHACHTEL Jr., son, age 20, born NY George SCHACHTEL, son, age 17, a Butcher, born NY Amelia SCHACHTEL, dau, age 15, a Scholar, born NY Charles SCHACHTEL, son, age 13, a Scholar, born NY William WILLING, son, age 4, born NY, parents born Germany/NY 1900 census of Manhattan Boro, NY: George SCHACHTEL, age 37, born Aug 1862, married 13 years, born NY, parents born Germany, a Real Estate Agent Lena SCHACHTEL, wife, age 33, born Sept 1866, married 13 years, 2 children/2 living, born NY, parents born Germany Edna SCHACHTEL, dau, age 12, born Aug 1887, born NY, at School George SCHACHTEL Jr., son, age 8, born Sept 1891, born NY, at School + 1 Servant + 5 lodgers 1910 census of Manhattan, NY: George SCHACHTEL, age 47, married 23 years, born NY, parents born Germany, a Real Estate Office Owner Lena SCHACHTEL, wife, age 43, married 23 years, 2 children/2 living, born NY, parents born Germany Edna SCHACHTEL, dau, age 22, born NY George SCHACHTEL Jr., son, age 18, born NY, a Clerk I'm hoping to locate someone from this SCHACHTEL Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to their rightful place with family.
