Shelley Cardiel rescues photographs from flea markets, eBay, you name it. She does what research she can to identify the family and then posts her findings on mailing lists, message boards, and photo sites in an attempt to reunite the pictures with family. What she does is awesome. I contacted her recently to see if she thought including them here might help. I hope it does! Please contact Shelley if you have information about her photos or project.

Rescued 000-002: Baker, Mary and Marie, Ingeborg 1892

I’ve “rescued” an old photograph of Mary BAKER and Ingeborg MARIE which was taken at the Haynes Studio in St. Paul, MN in 1892. The two women appear to be in their 20’s at the time the photograph was taken. I’m hoping to locate someone from their families so that the photograph can be returned . . . [Yes! There’s more!]
