RE: Yaisen / Jaisen Thank you to Bella, Helen and Bob for your information. Are there Death Records or obituaries I could access? Or do you know of someone that would look them up? I have used Message Boards before, but this is my first time I have used Mailing Lists, my apologies for replying to the Digest mode. I do not see how to reply to specific postings -- am I missing something?

You can find them mis-indexed as JSIENE and living next door is Rose & John also mis-indexed as SUSKE. Sophia is written plainly. However Sigmond is noted to be Ignat?. Andy is still living at home with parents.

Perhaps your larger libraries, if they don't have it, can get it on an inter-library loan. I have seen this book, and it is a great resource. Additionally there is a photography museum in Pittsburgh on the near Northside, on East Ohio Street. If you do some googling you might be able to find it. They might be of some help in determining the studio that you research. I knew some folks who went there on a field trip and they said it was a hidden gem, not too well known.

In the meantime, has anyone heard of this photographer and the years that he worked (in Greensburg)? I searched using google and mocavo and saw nothing. Also searched ancestry.com census records for Greensburg and Westmoreland County and didn't find anything.
