About this Site

By David Sobieski

This site was created by me as a way for family and relatives to enjoy old time family photos that they may not have otherwise be able to view. It is my first attempt at building a website, so it remains a work in progress as I add photos and videos. While viewing these photos does work on smartphones, it views better on larger screens.

I am open to including photos from relatives that can be shared with others on this website. Some viewers likely have old photos that many others don’t know existed, but would enjoy seeing. If you have any, please take a picture of the photo via your smartphone and sent it to me along with any information you have on the picture (names, date or place). Then we can all enjoy the photos. Send any photo to dcs9of9@gmail.com.

The comments and dates included in this site are based on the best information I had available. Please let me know of any errors or additions I can make.

Finally, I want to thank the many family members and relatives who helped me with identifying people in these photos for both sides of the family. One of the people who I turned to for help with old Sobieski photos was my cousin Ed Sobieski. Sadly, he is no longer with us. Thank you for all your help, Ed.

Thank you.

David Sobieski
