The family pictures below contain images of people unknown to my family. The last people who could tell us about these mystery photos have all passed away. Please help identify these family members!

I apologize for the poor scan of some of these pictures - when I get a new scanner, I'll be able to make your life a bit easier. Some of the photos are just too light for a proper scan, though.

I'm pretty sure the difference in spelling between Kathy Atwood's photo collection and Joe Wades' photo collection is the only difference - this appears to be the same person.

Another fellow genealogist by the name of Alicia found information in the Wayne County, MI 1920 census for me. Who was Augusta and Tony? (Joe listed below is my grandfather). Were the other two blood relations, perhaps belonging to Frank Zawada Sr's lost brother Jacob?

Here is what Alicia found:

NAME	AGE IN 1920	ESTIMATED BIRTH YEAR	BIRTHPLACE	RACE	HOME IN 1920
Zawada, Augusta	50	1869	Michigan	White	Manistee, Michigan
Zawada, Tony	20	1899	Michigan	White	Stronach, Manistee, Michigan
Zawada, Joseph	22	1897	Michigan	White	Detroit, Wayne, Michigan

Alicia also found information in the 1930 Census. Again, are these Jacob's kids? Is Frank listed below Joe's brother?

NAME	AGE IN 1930	ESTIMATED BIRTH YEAR	BIRTHPLACE	RELATION TO HEAD-OF-HOUSE	RACE	HOME IN 1930
