Mystery Photos

Help wanted: Are these family members or family friends?

Seeking names/dates...most likely related to the Farkas or Schwartz or Mahler families (possibly Burk/Berk/Birk or Weiss, Roth, Chazan):

Previously posted mystery photos from 2014 are below:


#30: Dorothy & Daisy Schwartz in front row; their mom Minnie might be in center of top row. Other names?

#29: Lena Kunstler Farkas and a mystery lady (a cousin thinks maybe her daughter Minnie).


#28: From left, Minnie & Teddy Schwartz, possibly in Florida. Who are the other ladies?
#27: July, 1919. Teddy & Minnie Schwartz at top, son Fred in center foreground. Who else is in this photo? (Unseen: Fred's soon-to-be-born younger sisters, Dorothy and Daisy)

#26 Teddy Schwartz standing at left. Who are the other folks? I think the man standing at right, in a vest, is his long-time employee John, who eventually purchased Teddy's Dairy, but this is a guess.


#23 Probably taken in the 1930s or very early 1940s. My Dad Harold Burk is at far right (with orange arrow) and his mother, Henrietta Mahler Burk is left of center seated at main table (orange arrow). Standing above Henrietta's right shoulder is her husband, Isaac Burk, who died in 1943. Is this the Mahler family? When/where was this taken and for what occasion?


#22 Taken at Spachner & Berger studio, 12 Avenue B, Lower East Side of NYC

#21B, full group shot of guys surrounded by supplies. Is this WWI or just after? In US or abroad?

#21A Closeup of photo just above, guys holding paper money or scrip or a bond?

#20 Marked on back "WWI" in modern handwriting.

#19 Cigar and top coat, taken at Jacobs Studio, 1431 Broadway, BROOKLYN, NY

#18 Also 1920s, taken in Barenblatt Studio on Willis Ave. in NYC

#17 Probably early 1920s, taken on Claremont Parkway in the Bronx
I played photo detective with this photo, and wrote about it here

#16 Photo taken at Beldegreen's on Avenue C, the Kossuth Society's regular photographer. Beldegreen didn't close this studio location until mid-1920s, and it was open as early as 1909.


#14 Schwartz family? Cuz B says it's Teddy on the left and I agree, although another cousin isn't so sure.


IDENTIFIED #12 at NYC wedding of Daisy Schwartz & Harold Burk in Nov. 1946. Standing in back row: Tillie Jacobs Mahler, bride Daisy, Henrietta Mahler Burk, groom Harold, Sidney Burk & Sylvia Volk. Seated are Mahler relatives: From right, Carrie Mahler, Charlie Lang, Millie Lang, Dave Bourstein, Miriam Bourstein, Ida Mahler Volk and her husband Louis Volk, Mary Mahler Markell and her husband Joseph Markell, Dora Mahler, and Morris Mahler (husband of Carrie).

Inscribed on back: "Commemorating Katie Weisz" - Farkas relative?
