My great-grandmother, Alice Ida Koch (see her profile), was adopted by Julius and Mina Koch as their only child. On or about her wedding day, which was May 7, 1879, Alice was given a photo album of the Koch family. I've posted the album on Facebook, here:
https://www.facebook.com/elbonian/media_set?set=a.1031708558558.2006062.1400710926&type=3 (if you can't see the album, send me an email at elbonian@live.com with your facebook member information and I will try to friend you or something....) Other than Alice and her adoptive parents, the only people I have any clue as to who they are is a couple whose photos are labeled "Burlington Iowa" and who the 1880 census apparently identifies as an actor and his actress wife named Julius and Johanna Koch. I would like to get this album into the hands of somebody who is related to the Koch family whose pictures these are. Please contact me if you can help in any way.
