Identifying the folks in old photographs can be challenging, and I’m sure we’re not alone in having boxes of photos of unknown people and places. For genealogists everywhere, it’s an occupational hazard. So, even though it’s a long shot, we thought it might be worth making these photos public and do a little crowdsourcing of the information we are looking for. If you are a member of a family with the last name Burmeister, Twillman, Fedder, Welp, Gerdes, or Kleiboecker, we have started a folder of unknown photographs of people we believe were part of those families, and we would appreciate you taking a moment to look at them and then let us know if you recognize anyone. Thank you for your time!
