Do you recognize the people in these pictures?
When my great-grandmother died, she left a lot of beautiful family photos; unfortunately, many are unidentified. After her death, my grandmother, Marian (Bohnsack) Davis acquired them. She let me go through the pictures, but did not know who most of the people were. I don’t know why I never asked my grandfather about the people in the photos.
I would love to identify the people and reunite the photos with family members who will appreciate them.
Possible surnames for the people in these photos are: Davis, Bausman, Brandt, Schoenhard, Hicks, Hebenstreit, and Hesselbacher. Viola Bausman grew up in Guilford Twp in Jo Daviess County in Illinois, USA. She lived most of her life in Scales Mound, Illinois.
Take a look.

Forgotten History 
You must be so excited to have so many pictures to investigate. The challenge is half the fun. I also wanted to say that I came across your website this week and love the look and overall feel. I am excited to start receiving your updates.
I read your Family History Through Food a few days ago and think that’s a great way to learn about family history. Both my grandmothers were great cooks, and my mom’s a wonderful cook. I’m an adequate cook, but a much better baker. I’m going to start asking my aunts for recipes.
Sounds like a great way to get more family information from your aunts!
