These are “The VanSickel Photos”  I believe it began by contacting a relative on Facebook in May of 2018.
I believe I mailed the photos in May…I hope I did…usually I make a note saying Photos mailed and the date.  I have tried to contact Carol…but she was having computer problems.  I searched through all my photos and could not find them so I think I may have mailed them in May.
Hi Connie
I would be very interested in the VanSickel photos.  2932 - 2936
The younger Henry VS was my Grandfather and Sanford and older Henry were Gr. & Gr. Gr. Grandfather's.
Thank you,
Carol

Hi there,
Your blog is so interesting. In my own way I have been reuniting old photos with descendants of the subjects. Good for you.
I would like to know if the photos can be purchased. A dear friend and cousin just found her birth family through DNA and I would like to send these photos of her great grandfather to her as a gift. She just completed her PhD while working full time and raising three children. She would be so grateful.
If you don’t sell the photos maybe a copy made from the original would work.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Joan
I explained that I had a number of Beaulieu photos
Connie,
You have no idea how thrilled I am to find these photos.  I am going to get them framed and send them to Kim.  Her mother was a out of wedlock child of Helen Elizabeth Killian who was put up for adoption.  Kim has been welcomed with open arms into the Killian family and has even been blessed to spend time with Lena’s (her grandmother youngest brother and her grand uncle, Gerald Killian, sho will be 98 on January 1st. 
They met for the first time at the  Killian reunion that I hosted in County Longford Ireland in May 2017.  Attached is the backstory of the Killian Homeplace.  There is no one on this earth who will cherish receiving any memento of her family history more than Kim.  She is a wonderful human being.
If you could send the 793 portrait of Her great grandparents, Alex and his wife and the 983 photo of the ladies in the hats.  I’m not sure how the other Beaulieu girls are related to her but they’re certainly the same family.  If you would like to send the one of the (973) three ladies as well, I’m sure she would love to have it.  But I don’t want to take advantage of your generous offer.  Whateveryou send will be amazing.
Thank you in advance for this wonderful gift.  You are an angel!
Joan
PS if you ever go to Ireland you will always be welcome at the Killian Homeplace
I mailed off the photos.

Joan got the photos, I had mailed them in a empty chocolate box.

Hi Connie,
Your beautiful chocolate box full of treasures arrived today. Again, I can’t thank you enough.  I’m going to turn them around and send them out to Alex’s great, great granddaughter, Kim Pickett in South Carolina.  Once she gets them, I will do the full circle comments and I assume (hopefully) that she will do the same.  I will also drop you a note with my contribution to your overhead.
Thanks again, Connie…you’re wonderful

Greetings,

With respect to the Leithe pictures on your website:

I am Matthew Paul Sullivan, great-grandson of Myrtle Leithe, or as I and the rest of my generation called her "Gram"

see: http://gordonrosalynd.tripod.com/green/d264.htm#P6139

Matthew Sullivan < Rebecca Peterson < Lorraine Weltzein < Myrtle Leithe

Anyways, perhaps some of the following is of interest to you:

In addition to the 4 listed on your webpage, Even Leithe and Bertina Myhre had one other child, Knut Even  who along with Konow died in childhood.

Mabel died before I was born.

Myrtle and Evelyn lived together in Minneapolis after the the death of Myrtle's husband Oscar,

When I was young we would visit them, or vice versa at least once a week, they did most of the babysitting for my parents as well, so I have many good memories of both of them.

Myrtle was the only of her siblings to have children, both of whom you mention on your blog.

Both Ruth and Lorraine are still living though neither is in good health.

Lorraine and her husband Earl are living in the Good Samaritan nursing home in Battle Lake MN

Anyhow, if you are willing to part with them I would like the Leithe photos and cards, and am willing to compensate you for them within reason

Yours,

Matthew
