Mystery Photos
Albert Reber & Elizabeth
I would assume this 'Albert' is related to Peter Reber (Strausstown, Berks county, 1814 - 1901) as the photo was found among others in a box belonging to Peter's great granddaughter. The labelling on the back is confusing as it pertains to the wife. Looking for any clues as to whom this might be.

Berger b.1848 and Emaline Rebecca Steely. Isaac was son of Daniel Berger b.1816 and Rebecca Reigel. Daniel was son of Johann Christian Berger. Is this a photo of Daniel Berger, his third wife Lydia Lengle and one of his children with their spouse; or other Bergers?
