Pictures of Unknown People
The two photographs above were
inherited by an aunt in Swansea, South Wales. They were
particularly intriguing as they were taken in Butte by the renowned
photographer, Dusseau. Nobody in my Welsh family was aware of
any family member who had emigrated to the USA, but I did
discover that neighbours of my great great grandmother had travelled
to Butte via Baltimore in the 1880s. The name of the copper
smelter from Swansea was John John so I thought it might be him but I
have no evidence that is the case. I would be very interested to
find out if anyone in Butte recognises the people in the photographs.
If any one recognizes the people in these photographs, please email me at w.brookes1@ntlworld.com Thank you. M. Brookes |
