Jerry was Seymour's older brother

(middle row) Ida, Grandpa Mendel, Sam, Grandma Bessie, Bill

(front) Maurice

Bessie is pregnant with Harry

Isadore, Sammy, Bill, Maury, Jake and Harry

Joel and Eleanor Soboroff are the second and third children in the row

(For the younger generation: Irving was Eleanor's brother)

(starting at the left:) Bill, Bobbie, Florence (Bill's wife), Maury, Connye, Sam and Rose Soboroff, Grandpa and Grandma Liederman, Harry Goldman, Dick (on the lap), Ida, Harry, Minnie, Sam L., and an unknown woman, possibly Jake's wife, Ann. 

(in back:) Jules, Irving and Eleanor Soboroff, Leah, Roe, Inez, a husband, and Isadore.

All this comes from a note from "Jeanne" to Betty Marx, née Liederman, Grama's cousin

Taken at Willow Beach Resort, South Haven, MI, July 7, 1907. I think Leah was Isidore's wife, since she is listed on the back of the photo as "Mrs. I. Liederman" (and Rose is listed as "Mrs. S. Soboroff.")

At some point, one begins to think of the Monty Python sketch, "And here is Uncle Fred at the front of the house ... and here is Uncle Fred at the side of the house ... and here is Uncle Fred at the front of the house, but you can just see the side of the house."

The small placard on the wall reads "Vote for Seymour B. Levy ... Judge ..."

Jack was Ted's cousin

This photo is badly spotted, so I did only a minimal clean-up

Cleaning something ...

I assume this was taken at a seder, and - given the focus - well after the fourth cup of wine

A distant cousin of Grampa Bert

Some of the photos have lines on them from the photo album; this is one of them, and it's too much to clean up fully

This is Uncle Ted at the back of the house.

And this is Uncle Ted at the side of the house.

This is Uncle Ted, back again at the front of the house, but you can see the side of the house.

And this is Uncle Ted even nearer the side of the house, but you can still see the front.

This is the back of the house, with Uncle Ted coming round the side to the front.

And this is the Spanish Inquisition hiding behind the coal shed.

Oh! I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

The blond girl may be Susan Stein. Points for anyone who can tell me who the other kids are.

Dressed as a leper for "Medieval Days" at Yale

At first, I thought this also was some kind of theatrics, but then I realized that in 1974, I just dressed like this

The original is out of focus

Where's Dan?

The photo was the last one in the album

somewhat awkwardly placed

Sally Bissell in the background

There are too many poorly lit photos of this eighth grade theatrical tour de force, so I'm just including just two of them.

I think that is Chuck Wilson in the top hat.

Is that Mei Shen to her left?

Digging his escape into the Vestals' yard?

The note on the memo board says "Buy new wallpaper."

Probably Howard Goldberg in the background

Frank, Steve, Alberta and Dwight

Dad with Maxine Weintraub

Julie's thesis, but not Julie

Diane and Rick Ricci, Phyllis and Richard Spool

How old?

I found a strip of negatives with two frames - this and the next one - tucked in back of the book.  There are a lot of photos from the Jerusalem trip in the photo album; if anyone wants to see them, let me know. 

Mom outside Shaxted's, a fine linen and housewares shop.

Evelyn managed the Shaxted store in Beverly Hills.  Shaxted was based in Chicago, and she knew the owner from back then.

Mom poses ...

... but Dad really gets into it.

Yes, his name is Bruce, as was the shark in "Finding Nemo."

Yes, kids, this is how they did it before CGI.

May 1979, according to the back of the photograph.

Mom, Grama and Sam

No flash?

I assume this is from the same weekend of celebrations.

The woman behind Papa is Frieda Wolcoff, Joe Glick's sister. Joe Glick was a friend of Papa's from college.

Barbara was Mom's best friend when she was growing up.

Posing for a formal portrait. Any specific occasion?

(Personally, I might not have put this one in the album in the first place.)

Dad and Norman Levy

Edith Levy (sitting across from Grama and Papa), Cindy, Dave and Carolyn Goldberg, Josh and Betsy Lehrer.

From the top - Grama and Papa, Dad, Norman, John Selig?, Aaron Goldberg, Mike C., unknown, Mei-Shen Hwa (I think), Julie.

In MA for their 5th wedding anniversary, December 1981.

December 1981 ...

... which means Hanukkah!

This and the following photos of Cohns, Goldsteins and Seligs are probably from December 1981 as well. Dan's vests may be the only clue.

at the Diplomacy board.

I assume this is from the same visit? It's either that, or Passover 1980.

New Year's 1980/1981?

Parade route - the kid is not positively impressed

Photos from Nathaniel's first solo visit to MA, 1982, continued.

Continuing the tradition of mysterious children in our photos ... CJ lived across the street on Parish Road.

See the loveli lakes

The wonderful telephone system

And mani interesting furry animals

Including the majestic moose

A moose once bit my sister...

No realli! She was Karving her initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law - an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"...

Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...

The person responsible for writing these captions has been sacked.

And Santa. Because.

Address?

The Montrose Beach photos are from 1936. The three children at lower right are Faire, Barbara and Herbie. Who are Barbara and Herbie?

Who's Laurie?

The people at the top left are Shirley, Lon? and Gertie, taken in Scottsdale in 1980.

The back of the photo of Papa with the cigarette reads"Snob ----! Seymour." There's no name on the back of the photo of the woman standing with Grama and Papa (Grama is not one for writing on the backs of photos, apparently.)

Then there's the sailor at the bottom: "You're the only one for me, forever love you" (signed) Herrera.  Someone has some explaining to do.

All I know is that the photo of the three people with the cake is dated January 4, 1953.

Chesterton '32, Grama Rose with some girl who doesn't appear to be Mom, someone named Hugh, Joe Davis with Grama in San Antonio in '26 ...

Travel seems to have been so much more luxurious back then.

Plus Grama smoking.

The photo of the guy in the hat is from 1939. Under the photo of Grama Rose, it says "Mexico with Goldie - '44." The photo caption reads" Hotel Ruíz Galindo. El major del Continente. Fortín de las Flores. Ver. México. F. Lima Foto."

I assume the man in uniform is Norman, with Edith?

Who is Mrs. Archie M. Kroloff? For that matter, who is Archie M. Kroloff? And who is Mom with?

Who's behind the bar with Papa?

Also Grama's first passport photo.

What ever happened to Ruth M. Murphy, anyhow?

Sam, Ferrick, and Linden Town House.

1986-1989

Grossmama and Grosspapa Unger

Plus the Millers. The Millers?

1986 and 1988.

The top photo is all Grama's first cousins.

I assume Zelda is a cousin (or wife of a cousin); this is the letter tucked into the previous page.

Grama wrote "Baseball whiz, Andrew"

I think Grama is there for a cruise on the Crystal Harmony

Oh damn!

And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope, and nice red uniforms -
