I’ve “rescued” an old photograph album which appears to have belonged to the TAYLOR Family of Bloomingdale, Pennsylvania.  I am having a difficult time determining which “Bloomingdale, PA” the TAYLOR Family lived in as there appear to be three in Pennsylvania.  A majority of the photographs in the album are unidentified; however, there are three letters in the front of the album all addressed to Miss M. Gertrude TAYLOR at Bloomingdale, PA.  A photograph in the back of the album is addressed “To Minerva” suggesting that the “M” may be from “Minerva”, though it is just a guess. I did find some information regarding Frank GREENWOOD who I believe appears in the album. I’ve included census information regarding the GREENWOOD Family below. Items in the album include: TAYLOR Family Photograph Album • Unidentified Group Photograph, W. E. Griswold Studio in New York City, 1890’s, infants to 70’s, I think some of the people included later are also in this photograph • Letter to Miss M. Gertrude TAYLOR of Bloomingdale, PA, June 8 1933 from Brooklyn, NY, addressed to “Sis” from “Wilson” • Letter to Miss M.
