Hi Steve,
Call me a Census nerd–but I enjoyed reading through these entries. As I was reading about the families living in Massachusetts, I began wondering if these could be the connection for your vintage cavalry soldiers photograph? Have you had any more clues for that mystery? –Carolyn
Hi Carolyn,
No, I still haven’t figured out who those three men in uniform were, although they did seem to be sporting Russian cavalry uniforms. Maybe someday someone will stumble upon that photo and know more about them.
