Hello all, My father-in-law passed away last week, and I am getting all of the old photos found in his home, especially if nobody knows who the people in the photo are. One of these photos is of a couple on what appears to be their wedding day, with the photo in a cardboard frame that shows "WILL ART STUDIO" at "6215 - 18th Ave." in "Brooklyn, N.Y." embossed on the cardboard holder. I figured if I could identify when this studio was in existence, it might help narrow down the timeframe for the photo a bit. Is there an online street directory available somewhere that I might be able to look in? I've tried a standard Google search, but no relevant hits so far. -- Thanks, Mary D. Taffet
Mary, If you are getting rid of the old photos of unidentified folks, you may consider contacting the Brooklyn Historical Society to ask if they would accept the old photos on your father-in-law's behalf. It would be a nice way to honor his memory and share the photos with others. Just an idea if the "digging" doesn't pan out.Catherine --- On Sat, 12/31/11, Mary D.
