I believe this is the Matuska Family, of Jackson, Minnesota. !!HELP!! is greatly needed to identify these people. I have tried to identify some of them: I believe the older lady in the middle, front is Mary Basak Matuska Bezdicek and I believe the little boy who's hand she is holding is my dad, Louis G. Betlach, son of Rudolph E. and Mary Matuska Betlach. I think some of the other people are as follows: Man in the very back row, standing middle: Rudolph E. Betlach, next row down, first lady on left is Agnes Matuska Skalicky and next to her: Mary Matuska Betlach, (they were sisters). I think the little boy in front on the left holding his hat may be Joseph Louis Betlach, son of Rudolph and Mary Matuska Betlach and the little girl second from the right: Helen Betlach Wytiska, daughter of Rudolph and Mary Matuska Betlach. The man seated on the ground, far left: Joseph J. Pribyl. Lady directly behind Mary Basak Matuska Bezdicek may be Laura Betlach Pribyl. PLEASE!! If anyone can identify anyone in this photo or if you know that I have mis-identified anyone, PLEASE, contact me. If in fact the little boy is my dad, I would guess the photo to have been taken about 1914. |
