Greetings,
My wife and I like to find old pictures and attempt to reunite them with their families. Yesterday we found a picture of two young women, obviously twins. The caption on the back says "Jean & Lizzie McCurrie." We saw the personal tree you submitted to Ancestry which shows
Name: Jane Mccurrie
Birth Date: 1873
Birth Place: Illinois
We wonder if your Jane and the Jean in the picture are the same, because we found a 1900 Census report from Joliet Ward 7, Will, Illinois, which lists sisters Jane and Lizzie McCurrie, both aged 27 and born about 1873.
Let us know if you'd like to see scans of this photo. We would have sent them through this portal, but have learned through experience that it doesn't work for scans. The photo was taken in Joliet, Illinois.
Sincerely,
Jack & Bev Camenga

We found the picture this past weekend in the Pioneer Square section of downtown Seattle, at a place called Fairlook Antiques. It's at 81 1/2 South Washington Street. Mike Fairley, the proprietor, maintains a wonderful collection of old paper, and Bev and I visit him regularly. We found you through Ancestry.com.
