\"Eleven\"<\/p>\n

I’ve been scanning and restoring old family photographs – many that were taken in the 1910s. Sadly, none of the people in my collection of\u00a0photos are identified – except for this one. My grandmother is in the back row on the left. I’ve always been curious about this photo – are they related? Is this a group of school friends?<\/span>\u00a0I’m hoping someone out there recognizes their relative and chimes in.<\/p>\n

UPDATE: Thanks to the\u00a0Vertefeuille & Maurice family Facebook page – the woman seated on the left in the middle row is Parmelie\u00a0Vertefeuille.<\/span><\/p>\n

ANOTHER UPDATE: The woman seated in the middle row on the right is\u00a0Yvonne Vertefeuille.<\/p>\n
