I am trying to connect with the descendants of the man mentioned on this medal. I have traced his linage to a James Loretz born approximately 1928/1927 based in the 1940 Census. I don't have a middle initial and I am wondering if this gentleman is connected.

A photo in the family album but we are unsure of the people. We suspect the man at bottom right might just be our great-grandfather John Robertson, and that it may be near the front of Lake Pontchartrain in Mandeville, LA.

A photo of Octavia Robertson. The third from the left with ribbon around head is my grandmother Octavia Missouri Robertson. Born in 1907, I am guessing maybe 15 here which would place this picture at about 1922. Five years later she would be married and giving birth to twins, my mother and uncle.

This picture was taken about 1987 somewhere near the French Quarter area in New Orleans. The identities of these ladies or what organization they belonged to is not known to me at this time.
The woman on the left appears to be a Postulant ("a candidate for admission into a religious order") The two women to the right appear to be Nuns.
I have not been able to find out what Religious Order the emblem on the front of their guimps (collars) belongs to. It appears to be a cross, flanked by a heart and some other object all encircled by a crown of thorns.

A photo of an unknown man - I believe he probably either lived in Richland, Ouachita or Union Parish, Louisiana. I do not know what time period but if anyone has him as a relative I would love to know who he is. My mother thinks he might have been a Dozier kin. She found him with all her other pictures.
