Mystery Ancestors of Boyd and Greenup County, Ky: Part II
In the previous post I explained that these are photographs of my ancestors from Boyd and Greenup County. Some are taken in Lawrence or Ironton Ohio, just over the river. If you know anything about them please leave me a comment. I'm posting 10 at a time. The families that these are associated with are the Miller, Schmauch, Karnap, Horstmann, and Donta families that lived (and still do in some cases) in the area of Ashland and Greenup County, Kentucky from about the mid 1800's.

| Lots of these children with hymnal photos. |

| I'm fairly certain these are members of the Schmauch family. |

| No identication. Looks a lot like Conrad Donta. |
Mystery Ancestors of Boyd and Greenup County, KY; Part I
On a recent trip home I was lucky enough to be able to bring home a box of mystery photos left in my Grannie's things. We know these photos came from her side of the family. My great aunt had them in her attic and asked if Granny knew who they were. Most of these photos were taken in the Greenup and Boyd County areas, very few have identification. The family names that I know are connected with these photos are Donta, Miller, Karnap, Horstmann, and Schmauch. All German families of the same areas.
Do you recognize any of these people or know anything about the photo like where it was taken or why all the girls are in communion type dresses? Where available I will put anything written on the backs about who they are. Each post will have ten at a time... this may take a while!

| This might have been a duplicate of another photo made at C.E. Matthews, Ashland, Ky. I have other similar photos of the same children. Most of these families were Lutheran and in later years, Methodists. |

| Miss Louise Karnap, So Ashland, Ky, Maw L. This can't be my grandmothers aunt Louise Karnap, as this woman was much older than her. |
