This photo postcard was recieved from Carolyn Obertein carolinsaginaw@prodigy.net

I have a postcard picture of our ancestors when they lived in Talbot County. I have attached a copy of the photo for your viewing. Please feel free to put it on your site. You will also see a picture of the backside of the postcard below the picture.

This is the census for 1880 regarding his family:
