For what it's worth....

When Roger Weaver sent me pictures of Mathias Hesch's family in Waumandee, Wisconsin, he included this one. It's not only too dark to distinguish faces, but we have no idea WHO any of them are...lol

But, thanks to the miracle of online photo editing, we can see them now. Still no idea WHO!

Since Roger sent the picture, tho, one of em almost has to be Mathias, and maybe his sons Val and John, too, right? Click the pic to biggify--I'm voting #7 is Mathias, only cuz he has a beard.
