This undated photograph from my family's collection shows Lina Rothschild (married surname Halberstadt, born 1874), seated with her children. Her husband was Elias Halberstadt (born 1877). The family had ties to Nieder-Mockstadt and Nidda, Germany, but the photograph's exact location is unknown.

We identify Recha (later Recha Simon, born 1905) as second from the left and Sara (later Sara Stern, born 1910) as the girl at the far right.

Our tentative identifications of the boys are: Berthold (born 1906) at the far left; Eduard (born 1903) standing behind and to the right of Lina; Leopold (born 1914) seated on Lina's lap; and Ludwig Eliezer second from the right. These identifications are unconfirmed. All positions are from the viewer's perspective.

Does anyone recognize this photograph or have family records that could help confirm the children's identities? Any information about this family would be appreciated.
