Fellow Researchers,

My grandmother was Gertrude Muriel Relyea, daughter of Roswell George Relyea, son of William H Relyea, my current brick wall. Gertrude married James Clifford Beach.

As my database below shows, William H appears to have been born in St. Lawrence Co., NY, but moved around the time of his marriage to eastern Ontario, Canada, across the St. Lawrence River.

There are no handwritten notes on my mystery photo.  The photographer was Peters of Neillsville, WI. who, according to ALHN, operated there between 1894 and 1899.

I have found a 'French Creek/Relyea Cemetery' near the Town of Albion in nearby Jackson Co., with 11 of the Henry V. A. Relyea family, but I have yet to find a connection between that gang and my own.  Why else would we have a Neillsville photo in our collection?  I suppose two Relyeas could have exchanged cards in passing.
