I had a distant cousin pass away and while reading the obituary I figured out a lot of things in that branch. I went to school with her and she married into a large family. I still have one death of her nephew that I don't know who he belonged to. I went to school with all of them but wasn't around when they married and moved away from the home area. L.

I can relate to the no replies. I contacted two male cousins last year and heard nothing back. Oh well. Isn't it interesting that in the photo of the younger couple that the gentleman was sitting? I ran across several from my family that looked like that, too. The photo of the elder Louis and Louisa is sweet.
