Hi all, I need help from fluent readers of German handwriting! Or Schweizerdeutsch; this is Zurichsee. I have a scanned family photo with an annotation on the back. "Famili Meier Re--f?--e?r" The third word may be the last name of my ggg-grandmother, whose name I don't know. The photo (see last link) is of her, surrounded by her children (clockwise from lower left: Sophia, Pauline (my gg-grandmother); baby Ida, Jacob, Emil. Their father is Jacob Meier.) I've also put it here, so you can click through and see it very high-res:

The front of the photo is here: https://www.wikitree.com/photo/jpg/Meier_Kuhn_Riglander_Family_Records_and_Photos
Thanks very much!
Not convinced there's room for the berg in berger; looking at the high res version, looks like it also could be boyer. Might a z be formed with a long descender like that? I know some of the Frakture/ black letter fonts have a long descender on the z, but I'm not at all sure about the handwriting, particularly Swiss.
