My Great Grandparents were married in Bay City, MI in 1883. The woman looks just like my Grandmother and older Sister. There names were James Carbary and Amanda Borden. Did it say anything at all on the back of the photo? Thank you!
Unfortunately the subjects of this photograph were not unidentified. Good luck with your research.
