    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph identified as Lucetta Gould BECHDOLT which was taken at the D. Mahan Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Lucetta's age noted as 22 months old at the time and her weight 26 lbs. Based on limited research I was able to locate the family in census records as follows: 1900 census of Media Boro, PA: Charles J. BECHDOLT, age 48, born Apr 1852, married 21 years, born Germany, parents born Germany, to USA 1853, a Civil Engineer Ida C. BECHDOLT, wife, age 57, born Nov 1842, married 21 years, 2 children/2 living, born PA, parents born PA Lucetta G. BECHDOLT, dau, age 19, born Sept 1880, born PA Mary H. BECHDOLT, dau, age 17, born Sept 1882, born PA Alice CARRIGAN, servant, age 17, born Apr 1883, born Ireland, parents born Ireland, to USA 1900, a Servant 1910 census of Harrisburg, PA: Ida C. BECHDOLT, age 65, a widow, 2 children/2 living, born PA, parents born PA Lucetta G. BECHDOLT, dau, age 29, born PA, parents born PA Mary H. BECHDOLT, dau, age 27, born PA, parents born PA, a Public School Teacher + two boarders 1920 census of Harrisburg, PA: Ida C. BECHDOLT, age 75, a widow, born PA, parents born PA/MD Lucetta G. BECHDOLT, dau, age 39, born PA, parents born PA Mary H. BECHDOLT, dau, age 37, born PA, parents born PA, a School Teacher I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this precious old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or if you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
