    1. Do you know a CASWELL or ALBRIGHT in Waushara Co.?
    2. Brian K Luginbill
    3. I have recently joined the list in hopes of finding a clue to my elusive CASWELL family. The 1900 census enumerates the family of Hiram CASWELL in Berlin, Green Lake Co., WI, not too far from the Waushara Co. line. The Warren ALBRIGHT family is listed in Berlin on the same census. I have heard that CASWELL families from Redgranite, and ALBRIGHT families from Poy Sippi attended school in Berlin as recently as the 1950s. I am hoping someone on the list will know something about or know a relative of these two families. Here is the reason: Recently, a cousin found a photo of a man identified as H. CASWELL or H. M. CASWELL. He is said to be 81 years old, and is standing outside with his great-grandson, Clifford ALBRIGHT, who is a small toddler. There is a nice, large farmhouse with dark paint and white window casements in the background. The upper part of each window has a panel of 16 squares. No trees are visible, but there are some small bushes. It is hard to tell the age of the photo, but from the style of clothes and type of photo, I'm guessing it may have been taken sometime between 1915 and 1925. I believe this H. CASWELL, (or H. M.CASWELL, it's hard to read), is a relative of my Electa Jane CASWELL, perhaps a younger brother. From further identification on the back of the photo, it seems that H. CASWELL's oldest daughter married an ALBRIGHT, and they had a son. Apparently, that son had the little boy named Clifford ALBRIGHT. There are no other names mentioned. Here is the exact wording on the back of the photo: "taken on his 81 birthday the littell boy is our grait grand son our oldest girl son boy Clifford Albright and his grandpa" According to census records, Hiram CASWELL was born in Sep 1840 in Indiana. If the photo is of Hiram CASWELL, then it was taken in Sep 1921. I apologize for the length of this query, and thank you for your patience. Absolutely ANY clues or leads, not matter how small, will be greatly appreciated. Cheryl Luginbill
