It looks like the same hand wrote all the names to identify who was inthe photo. Interesting piece of someone's history. May be fun trying to find out who they were.

already started a search nigel:-) there is a place in illinois called and there is a karen balfour looking for relatives from chicago,only problem is that it is 10 years ago,i might have a go at tracking down any relatives,as long as it doesnt cost me anything:-) could return it to the rightful ancester owner 🙂

anyone know what the word says before ]?

I think it may say "From", in which case the photo could have been a gift to someone over here they were visiting or writing to as they make the distinction they are from the USA.

Your mission should you wish to accept it......Daz,it's hard enough trying to track down addresses for TTMs, but now a new line in family reunions? Good luck!

Nice find. You could possibly try putting this in one of the Family History magazines available or a family history site online. Someone out there may know something!

It would great if you could find a connection with someone in Chicago. Good luck with the hunt.

Very interesting photo Daz. It definately says 'from' and 'ill' after (illinois). Would be great if you could reunite it with family members.
