Hello,I found your page for mystery photos. My great grandmother was raised and married in La Salle County. I think in the Utica and Ottawa area. She had siblings that lived in Washtenaw county, MI. They have pictures that were sent or given to them from La Salle county. But since we are younger and don't know who the pictures are of, and no names written on them, and we don't live in IL, could we post any of them on this site. We are guessing that they were probably taken during the 1860 - 1900 period. But guessing who they might be really doesn't tell us who they are.Since they are our ancestors, and there is no one left to identify them, we are hoping someone who sees your site might be able to help us. I will send you one that was taken in Ottawa.Hoping someone can tell me who this couple is,Darlene Lutz Foged

Hi,
I am new to this site so I am not sure how you are supposed to respond to the unknown photographs but I think the man in this photograph resembles my great great grandfather. I am wondering if the man could be a sibling. I know Emile Alphonse Weigand 1838-1893 had two brothers August Oscar Weigand 1847-1894 who married Catherine Raab and lived in Ottawa, IL, and Ferinand Frank 1834-1908. I have attached the two pictures I have of my 2x great-grandfather for comparison.
Kind regards,Teresa Betz
