LuAnn’s Adventures in Genealogy: December 2012

Adventures in Genealogy

I love doing genealogy! It's like putting a puzzle together or solving a mystery, sometimes working from the tiniest of clues. And most of my genealogical adventures have a link to Jackson County, Iowa, home base for all of my family lines at some time. So I am inviting you to join me on my quests and enjoy the ride with me. Please let me know how you like my blog. [sic] - means that I left the spelling just as I found it in the original record. Anything else in [square brackets] is my addition for clarity. And since genealogy research works best as a group effort, feel free to add corrections or point me to more information. But most of all, Enjoy! LuAnn

Photos from 1940's and 1950's

I have scanned several 1940's-1950's photos of people I believe are from Jackson County that I would like help to identify.
The dates are unknown. I have identified and tagged only a few people: Cecil and Pearl Stoll and their daughter, Joan (Stoll) Wentworth.
Five of the photos were in binder from a Rockford, Illinois shop. Were these people from Maquoketa or from Chicago where Pearl and Cecil worked and got married in 1937. Just leave me a message. You can see these photos and two close-ups at this link: You can also find these photos at this link: photo. You do not have to belong to Facebook to see this picture.
Thank you!
