Unknown Family Pictures

Various branches of my family grew up in small towns that stretched from Peoria up through Minonk and Metamora to El Paso and Chenoa, IL. I inherited a number of family albums, and one family that appears not only in my album, but in several of my cousins were the attached pictures. This large family of boys no doubt has many survivors, some perhaps still in the area.

I would suspect this family would be related to the Maubach's, the Linderer's, the Schmitt's, the Schlosser's, Kroeper's, the Klein's, the Etringer's, and the Balensiefen's. These and some others were very large German families that have far too many branches through their marriages to list, and I certainly don't know them all to name. But perhaps someone will recognize some of their grandfather's in the faces of these children, and perhaps be aware of the size of family they came from, and so thus to help identify them.
