Image 1 –  Appears to be a Schuler Family Pictures, but the may be a Schuler and Schell Picture since Mary (Schell) Reiss appears to be the out of focus Woman in front second from the left and Josephine (Schell) is second from the right (based on the notes from the second page.

Schuler Family Photograph

Image 2:  Schell Sisters – Mary and Josephine Schell – Josephine is Aunt Schuler I believe.  I have no idea who the Adams is but she is in both Pictures.  Adams do not join the family until Mildred and Grandpa Bill.  The Mitchell’s are the Adams connection and these pictures seem older then that but maybe not.

Image 5 – Children Unknown – This is the old picture by far based on type pre 1900 I think but no idea who these two are?

Image 6 – Side of Schell Bakery 1226 Washington Ave Boston circa Unknown.  I got a copy of this years ago but the more I look at it the picture may be on the Left Peter Jr. and Peter Schell.  I will have to blow up faces and look.  If so they both died in 1900 so it would have to be from 1875-1890 i think.

My Goal is to try and figure out as much as possible about this pictures.  Take them freely and if you have any information about them I would love to know it.  If you have any other pictures of the family I would love copies of them.  My goal is to try and put as many of them together in a book if we have a family reunion next year as Paul has talked about.
