The photo was sent to my grandparents in Germany in the 1920s. It shows a young woman who should be the offspring of a SCHMITT family who emigrated from Dasburg in the Eifel area.
I guess that could have been around 1902. They emigrated after their father's death in 1901. Barbara, Elisabeth and Peter SCHMITT were the names of the young grown-ups who emigrated. I think their mother Anna Maria HEINEN (* 8 April 1838 in Daleiden) might have emigrated with them since I cannot find an orbituary in Germany.
