Saturday Image Bonus 177 - Meet Aunt Annie

Anna Turin Cohen Horowitz

Annie and her siblings



Annie's brothers ( marked J Turin)



Annie and her first husband ? Cohen

J Turin and Mother? Wife?

Today we have Aunt Annie's family.  She must be Bess's sister in law.  These are not marked as well and I am trying to guess from previous photos who is who.  The man with Annie in the fourth photo I assume is her husband and a Cohen.  He looks a lot like the women in some of the previous Cohen photos and is marked New Haven CT like all of the Cohen photos.    All the Turin photos are maked NYC 70-72 E 99th St was their address.

I still have many more photos but the flea market vendor I got these photos from has promised to bring me even more photos from the lot for no additional charge.  There are travel photos to South America and other later family shots.  Perhaps we will be able to piece together the identities of the mystery people from those photos.

Meet Bess's Family

Bess Cohen Epstein

Today we are going to get to know the Cohen's, Bess Epstein's family.  There are several photos of her parents Ida and Louis.  The one of her father wearing a skullcap is very unusual.  This is the first photo I have with someone wearing one.

Sylvia and Sherwin

  Here are four adorable postcards of two children from Connecticut named Sylvia and Sherwin Epstein in 1922.   I bought fifty of these old photos from a vendor at the flea market today.  They are a wonderful set.  The photos are of several families that are related over a fifty year period from 1880 - 1930's.  Many are marked with the names and others you can tell who they are by seeing previous photos.   I'll be posting many of these over the next few weeks.  I hope you enjoy them as much as my daughter and I.  It is so fun to see this family evolve from the old country to an American family.
