The photographs shown below were found among the family photographs of Arthur and Margaret Blekkenk Allen. Unfortunately, there is little or no information on the photographs! We are hoping that some visitor can help us solve some of these mysteries!

They could be of the following families; Allen, Blekkenk, Kessler, Smith, Schmidt, Hunt, Tietenberg, Wundes, Greenman, Goldenarm, Niner, Setzer - or maybe distance cousins or family friends!

If you have any ideas or clues, please email me!

Photo 11 Solved! Thanks to information provided by two of their family members, we have been able to identify these people. Shown here is Mrs. Irene Phippens Briggs and her three girls, (right to left) Mary, Jean Louise, and Jane. At this time we don't think they are related - perhaps friend of George Blekkenk. Thanks to Victoria Gordon and to Robert Brown for their help!	Photo 12 Was taken by Miller, State Street, Rochester NY
Photo 13 Real photo postcard, probably WWI era.	Photo 14  Solved! According to a new found cousin, these are two of Kessler "Girls", Minnie and Carrie. They were sisters of our Great Grandmother Emma Kessler Blekkenk. Minnie was Wilhelmina - Carrie might be Catherine. The features of these two sisters leads us to believe that we have two more in photo 13! Thanks Jeanne for the indentification!
