Comment here or contact me if you can identify this woman. The photo is just signed "Love Helen".

More Croatian photos

I can't make out most of what is on the back.

Andrija Vodopia

Smooka Kata Tlijina otr? udata za Martino Frankovic

Nik Spehar - There was a Nik/Nikola Spehar that married Helen Vodopia, but I don't know which one he is in the picture, or who the other two are. Sorry for the lines again. I think it's a blogger issue since there are no lines on the files.

More unidentified pictures

I am going to do the best I can typing up what is written on the back of these photos. It's in Croatian, and some of the handwriting is hard to make out. Please let me know if you can help identify anyone in these photos. Sorry about the lines on a couple of them. I don't know why my computer is doing that.

"Ovoje slika netjakinge od Staverča udata za Franjo i Jana i ojeca Franjo i marce Slibea"

There's nothing on the back, but I think the woman on the right is the same as in the photo above.

This is the same family again. The handwriting is very hard to read on the back of this one.


This is another photo of the family pictured above.

Unknown Croatian wedding photos

These are some of the pictures that were Kathryn Vodopia Meeks had at her home at her death. Her parents were Anton Vodopia and Anna Tandarić. Anton was born in Kaniska Iva, and Anna was born in Velika Mlinska. Many of pictures have been written on the back in Croatian. I've done my best to include those notes here, but some of the handwriting is hard to make out. Please contact me if you can identify anyone in these photos, or if you can translate the Croatian.


~~~~~~~~~~
On the back, this one says:
"Era and her husband
Both died"
~~~~~~~~~~
Just as it's written on the back:
"this is Marica Mavrićević Married to Horvat, Marica Horvat selo Gornja Trnovitica z. P. Velika Trnovitica, Hrvatska, Yugoslavia"

"This is Jana Mavrićevic Daugther from Mlinska"

***ETA: This one has been identified! It is Marica Mavrićević and her husband Mijo Horvat.

~~~~~~~~~~
On the back: "Luka Vodopia"
There was a Josef Vodopia who had a son named Luka. Josef (1895-1947) was the son of Blaz Vodopia and Kata Vojkovic.

Unknown Andersons

Here are a few more unknown faces. If you can identify any of these, please contact me. These are all probably related to the Anderson family. Several are marked "Lora Z. Beck Olney, Illinois" and the family did live in Jasper County near Olney, Illinois.

This woman looks a lot like Emma and Sarah Anderson. Emma and Sarah had a sister named Susan, so maybe this is her.

This is probably the same woman as the photo above.

I don't know who this man is, but he favors the Andersons also.

I'm just guessing that this woman is also related to the Andersons just because of the photographer's stamp at the bottom, "Lora Z. Beck Olney, Ill."

Mystery Photo

This old family photo was found at my husband's grandma's house, and we don't know who he is. We think he could be from the Anderson Family. Felix Thomas "Tom" Anderson had 3 brothers, James W. (b. about 1849 in Indiana), Wilford (b. about 1859 in Illionois), and Leroy "Roy" (b. about 1861 in Illinois). Their father was Felix Anderson, b. about 1827 in Indiana, and died between 1865 and 1870. He married Martha Jane Underwood in 1847, she was born around 1829 in Indiana. There were also 3 daughters, Sarah (b. about 1850 in Indiana) and married Richard Lewis. Susan (b. about 1852 in Indiana). Emma (b. 9 Jul 1858, d. 8 Sep 1940). Emma married George F. Richards. The family was in the 1850 census in Jefferson Co., IN and in the 1860 & 1870 censuses both in Jasper Co., IL. James W. Anderson appears in the 1880 Jasper Co., IL census with his family. Please contact me if you have any information on this photo or the Anderson Family. Thanks!
