Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Re: Comparing two photos: same Vorberg girl?

Thanks~I thought their faces looked so similar, and my family was sort of betting on it being the same girl, just out of proximity of the photos and so forth. She had two much older half sisters (her mother was married twice), in addition to mother and aunts. And I know they were Catholic (and not everyone in that box of photos was). Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on the topic!

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Dating a snapshot taken in St Louis

This photo was in a box with many identifiable photos from my grandfather's side of the family. This woman bears a strong resemblance to my grandfather and appears to be sitting in a back garden by a set of outside stairs with 4 children. It is a snapshot on thin paper. Any ideas on a time range based on the clothing would be very helpful.

This is probably a Blake, Dawes, Eiler, Vorberg, or Sicking family photograph, taken in St. Louis.

Thanks for any thoughts on this!

It was addressed to Anna Carrie Vorberg on S. 12th street, St. Louis but not sent with a stamp. I know Anna lived on S. 12th street in the 1910 census and she was married in 1917, so that gives me a clue that it was sent around that time--and it is clearly marked with Hazel, Helen, and Howard.

I really believe the first communion girl is a Vorberg just based on her features, and the family is small. She has two other girl cousins b 1890 and 1892. Is the general consensus that the first communion picture is older or younger?

Thanks for your help!

Oh totally the date could be off! I was simply stating that it was pretty clear it was those three children.

I know for sure that the picture of the three children are those three children. It is written on the back in pencil in longhand and was mailed as a postcard to their cousin (my great grandmother). I know their birthdates for sure, too. The first communion photo was the one I was stuck on. Found in the same box of photos, all from the same side of the family (my grandfather's family), and the other side of the family (Blake and Dawes) are all light eyed and fair skinned. I thought the round face and nose and eyes seemed to fit with the Vorberg side. But I know definitely I am correct on the first photo. Thank you for your input.

I have two photos attached. One is known: there are three children on a postcard that is labeled on the back "Compliments of Helen, Hazel, Howard Vorberg". Hazel b 1906 and Helen and Howard are twins b 1909. They are first cousins of my great-grandmother Anna Vorberg Blake. I would guess this photo was taken around 1912.

The other photo is of a first communion (found in the same box of photos from my grandfather's side of the family). It appears to be Hazel but wanted to send this out to someone who might have a better idea perhaps based on the clothing.

Thanks!
