Why try to identify who is in this photograph?

Group photos, even recent ones of only ten persons, rarely name who is in them. Then why this effort to do that in this almost 90 year old picture of about 250 men, women and children?

Our hope is that when descendants of those in this historic image do family research -- Googling Grandpa or Grandma -- they will find this page. That's why we display the names below in a way that search engines will index well. Each name is followed by a number which shows its horizontal position, on a scale of 1 to 100. The scale 10, 20, etc can be seen below the image. A few names are followed by a question mark to show that we are not sure. Where first names are missing we will try to find them by searching census data and death notices.

Not everyone at this picnic was in a farming family. The heads of many families worked off the farm. Some in the photo may have moved away but returned for this event as a way to support their community or to see old friends again.

Thanks to our team of identifiers, children of Geneva farm families: Judith Orkin Rosenthal, Lil Silverman Milder and Sanford (Sam) Silverman z"l. For a photo of them at work, click here.
