SIEBELWESKY, POBERJESKY, and DASHEVSKY family pictures
by Ray Cannata
Ray Cannata recovered these photos, amongst hundreds, from the ruins of his great-great-grandmother's house, as it was in the process of being demolished. The last family member to live there had not maintained it, and was a hoarder, so the photos were both buried and protected by layers of trash.
With the help of many family members and diligent research, he was able to identify many of the individuals in the photos.
