    2. RandyC via
    3. We purchased, in a SC antique shop, an old cabinet card photo album and are want to reunite it with family. The Weld family is from the Cohocton, Steuben Co. area of New York, also New Hampshire and the Boston Area (many more see info below). There is a Genealogy of the family published in 1938 by one of the men in the album: Charles Frederick Robinson, called the Weld Collections it is avaiable to read at FamilySearch - https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/5461 If this is your family, or you know anyone researching this family, please contact me. Thank you, Randy MORE INFO: The album has 17 photos, 9 of them with no names but with some hints like the city of the photographer Albert H. Weld – on back “AH Weld Cohocton 52 years old” in fountain pen, in the same hand as note on wife’s photo Mrs Larissa Weld (Larissa Haight is what I found in RootsWeb WorldConnect trees and it looks like Larissa in the 1880 census) – back of the photo is written “Mrs AH Weld Cohocton NY” in fountain pen, same hand as note on Albert’s photo G. E. Robinson (possibly-hard to read) – 60 yrs 9 months Dec 1891 Will Coff – Some previous owner wrote Will Coff on an album sleeve (the photo could have changed slots over the years, or may not be in the book at all anymore) Annie M. Sanborn – written on the back and 1892-17 (Found at WorldConnect, Emily Weld Sanborn’s daughter Annie Maud born in 1874 ) Aunt Vina or Vira Weld – Some previous owner wrote Aunt Vina Weld on an album sleeve (could have changed slots over the years, or may not be in the book at all anymore) (Maybe Vira Weld? Albert had a sister Alvira who was unmarried at 23 in the 1860 census in Charlestown, Mass, she was still a servant in the same house in 1900, a spinster?) the back of the pic looks like a date NOV?? ’89) Henry Robinson ? – Some previous owner wrote on the album page Heny Robinson, maybe this is Maurice Henry Robinson the nephew of Albert Weld born in Meredith NH Charles Frederick Robinson b1866 d1932 – Nephew of Albert H. Weld and Author of Weld Collections WILD guess – Frank Henry Weld son of Albert and his wife Alma Meskimons Only because I found them in a census at San Bernardino, CA and the photographer was CL Sears in San Bernardino Other names written on the sleeves with NO pictures in them: Mrs. Joseph Robinson, Aunt Liza Victoria Robinson Mrs. Frank Robinson Frank Robinson Josephine Robinson Charles Robinson Henry Robinson George Robinson Ed Plummer Linnie Mudget Plummer (all the writing on the sleeves is in the same pen and handwriting) Photographer Locations: Laingsburg, MI (Laingsburg Village, Sciota, Shiawassee, Michigan) Boston, Mass. Meredith, N.H. Laconia, N.H. (near Meredith) Charlestown, Mass. (across the river from Boston) Bath, N.Y. Bristol, N.H. Lakeport, NH Lake Village, NH Hanover, NH San Bernardino, CA Places the family lived that I have found in my research: Hometown of Albert H. Weld – Cohocton, Steuben Co., New York Syracuse, N.Y.
