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.

I’ve “rescued” a group of three photographs identified as members of the MCCARRICK – FOGERTY Family. The first is one of Mary MCCARRICK FOGERTY which was taken at the D. P. Thomson Studio in Kansas City, MO in 1887. Mary appears to be in her 20’s at the time it was taken. The other two photographs are of Rosie FOGERTY and were both taken at the same Thomson Studio in . . . [Yes! There’s more!]
