(Copyright (c) 2010 Cynthia Shenette) Lovely aren't they. I have no idea who these people are. I have a large box of unidentified photos, and quite a few of them are wedding photos. These four photos are a small sampling of my "mystery" wedding collection. The photo at the top was taken by a photographer with studios in Southbridge and Webster, MA. The second photo is inscribed, "Heli and Kazi 1921." The third photo was taken by a photographer in Worcester, MA. The bottom photo has Bachrady (the name of the photographer I think) 1918 on the front and the name Sulkoski on the back. My guess is all of the people were members of the Polish community in Worcester, Southbridge, or Webster. If you recognize anyone here drop me a line. I'd love to put a name to a face...

Absolutely beautiful wedding photos! I hope you can find out who they are of!
I would be interested in any tips for Mass. sources. We had planned to spend the week here, and have had such miserable experiences that we gave up and are heading home today. I have never been so frustrated.
The NICEST people were at the state library, where they were unable to retrieve the things they did have that were relent because the Special Collections area was closed due to budget cuts. Then there was the Wooster Historical Museum... I was in tears at the State Archives. I have a vision issue and simply wished to print the materials I needed from that TERRIBLE microfilm. I explained that I couldn't read it, and merely wanted to print it. Only one printer was in use, so it wasn't as though there was a line... I was told I had to read it before I printed it. Gee, if I could read it, I wouldn't have wanted to print it all. We phoned places that never returned our calls... MISERABLE.
NJBuckeye, I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with your MA research. Take a look at my Worcester and MA links. Maybe they will be helpful to you. The Worcester City Clerk has some great info on line as does the Mass Archives. The Family Search Pilot has some MA records (marriage and death) online. I'll try to do a blog post sometime in the next couple of months outlining the sources I have found helpful. Good luck...
