Album 60: Timmerman  

The Timmerman Family Photo Album was a gift from my good friend Illya of LiveRoots.com. As you can see, the Album has had a rough life, and needed a good home.

The Timmerman Family Photo Album has a total of 63 ancestor family photos in this album. I estimate most of the cabinet cards in this album are from the period 1890 - 1910.

15 of the Cabinet Card photographs were identified with writing on the album pages. One was identified in period handwriting on the verso (back) of the photo. With the identification of those 15 photos and the clues from the photographers the family used, I was able to find the family in the census for Chicago Illinois and determine that this album belonged to the Timmerman Family.

Olive Tree Genealogy has scanned several of the photos and published them online for all descendants and interested researchers to enjoy. I will be scanning all the photos and placing them all online in hopes that genealogists will recognize an ancestor.

Before I remove photographs from an antique album, I photograph the album in its intact and original form. That way I can place the photos back or, if the album itself cannot be saved, I have a record of the original placement of the photos. This can be a good clue for identifying the subjects.  

You can help me save more of these beautiful photographs of ancestors with this PayPal.Me/OliveTreeGenealogy  link.  Please consider donating a small amount for the Lost Faces Project. ​
