What is hidden in the photographs we keep in old boxes, envelopes or old bags?
I encourage you to look at family albums and re-discover the stories of people in these photographs.
Today, I was looking through a section of collections about a family from south-eastern Poland from Jeżowe and Groble (South-East, Poland)
The oldest man in the photo – Karol Mścisz, born in Jeżowe, Andrzej’s son (Jędrzej) Mścisz and Agnieszka nee Drelich
Karol Mscisz -Carl Metz with his family – a photo taken most probably in Chester, Hancock, West Virginia, USA – a photo of the relatives of Jeżowe, photo taken no later than in December 1962
Children of Karol and Józefa:
Michael G. Mścisz Metz
John Mścisz Metz
Andrew? Mścisz
Julian Mścisz Metz
Paulina Mscisz Metz- wife of Carl Karol Słodziński
Frances Josephine Mścisz Metz -Edwin Szetela
Mary Josephine Mścisz Metz- wife of Cecil Charles McGraw
Katharine Mścisz Metz – wife of Chema Paul
Information about the descendants of Mścisz from Jeżowe, who immigrated to the USA, I have managed to establish through the Ellis Island website (information about Karol Mścisz), while the information about his American part of the family I have found by searching the websites. The photographs above, were sent by the relatives of Karol to the relatives remaining in Poland.

I encourage everyone to take care of photographs, scan them and also describe them (people, surnames, when they could be taken and where).
