SIEBELWESKY, POBERJESKY, and DASHEVSKY family pictures
by Ray Cannata
Ray Cannata recovered these photos, amongst hundreds, from the ruins
of his great-great-grandmother's house, as it was in the process of
being demolished. The last family member to live there had not maintained
it, and was a hoarder, so the photos were both buried and protected by
layers of trash.
With the help of many family members and diligent research, he was able
to identify many of the individuals in the photos.
