    I wrote to you last year when I read about Rev. J.E. Albrecht, my maternal grandfather. Recently, I shared that with another first cousin, Paul Shultz. I decided to look at a more recent post and found the above. I recently obtained my mom’s scrapbook and found a picture of my mom, Mildred Albrecht, about 3 or 4 years old with Edith Schaadt, who looks more than 6 years older than my mom. I wonder if it is mislabeled. I wonder if it could have been Minnie.

    1. I do not know if I have a photo of Minnie to compare it with. I looked at Zion’s confirmation photos but did not see Minnie in any. I wish I could be of more help but I do know I have found old photos that were mislabeled. Thanks for writing and I hope you solve your mystery.
