I have good news for researchers of the Shortridge family.
Your family's antique photograph album has been located!
I am Robert D. King and in my travels, I see family photos lost in antique stores and for sale on ebay.
I think that is sad knowing that there are family tree researchers and descendants, that would treasure those photos. So I have decided to try and do something about it by returning as many as I can to their rightful families.
So, I buy photos with names and dates or places on them and list them on my webpage,
so that descendants of these lost souls can find them and bring them home.
The thousands of photographs are mostly from the 1800's and include Tintypes, Daguerreotypes,
Cabinet Cards, Carte-de-visites, Personal Picture Postcards, Photo Albums and Yearbooks.
Recently, I was able to acquire this album:
Shortridge and Related Familes' Tintype Photo Album
This tiny (3" x 4.5"x 1") Civil War era photo album has 13 studio portraits and
10 of them are tintypes. But even greater than that, is that it has handwritten
family connections. It is too hard for me to figure out, but wonderful clues
for a family tree researcher.
The names in the album are:
Miss Armstrong – “A distant cousin on the Ashba side”
Grandpa Clark “My Grandpa Clark – Grandma’s first husband”
Grandma Shortridge
Mrs. Sagers - “Wife of John Sagers – an aunt of my mother”
“My mother” - photo from Delphi, Indiana
John Sagers - “My mother’s uncle”
Rebecca Shortridge “Step-daughter of my grandmother Shortridge –
(on back of photo:) “Rebecca Shortridge Hoel – my step-grandfather’s daughter”
Della Byrkett “her first cousin” & my mother- no photo
If you think you could shed some light on who these people are, please let me know.
Also, if you know of anyone who might want to purchase this heirloom and bring it back into the family,
please contact me:

Please feel free to check out your other family names:
