This photo is 8x10 in a 12x14 cardboard frame.  The photographer is Kaylor Studio, Mishawaka, Indiana. I assume that it was taken before 1900 and that my grandfather, Louis Strantz, or my grandmother, Lottie (Glon) Strantz, may be in the picture. My grandfather was born in 1877 in Terre Coupee and he told me that he helped to build the St. Stanislaus Kostka so this is probably not that church..

Answer: The mystery of the church photo has been solved.  I received only one reply from viewers of your web site and that person lived clear across the country and could only offer a few research tips.

Jim Piechorowski, a local researcher, was the person who solved the puzzle.  The church is not a church but it is a school;  St. Monica's School in Mishawaka.  The picture was taken around 1917 and I believe that my father is in the group, standing next to the priest.
