Thanks for sharing your wonderful family photo!

I am not certain of the year of this photo.  I am hoping that with help from other family members we can confirm that the daughter on the far left is Genowefa.  Sadly, this may be the only picture of Genowefa as she died in Feb 1915. If that is the case, the picture can be dated between Nov 1914- Feb 1915.  Helen, probably the infant in the picture, was born in Oct 1914.

I hope you get it all together. The baby looks to be under a year, not much more. Poor guy a household full of girls. Or should I say what a lucky man?
Thanks again, I just love looking at it.

Update:  This picture was taken between Oct 1914 (Helen the baby in the photo was born 13 Oct 1914) and Feb 1915 (Genowefa far left died 13 Feb 1915).  Also notice that John Danielczak is missing 2 fingers -- noted in his WWI draft registration.  There was some industrial work incident that led to this injury.  I was told that the case was taken to court and he won; however, the attorney took all the money and left town.  It was written up in local papers (thinking possibly Polish newspapers).
