This small photograph, labeled "Aunt Adnee Vanemberg" was located in Midway, Kentucky, at the Eagles' Nest Antique Store.
It is stamped with the photographer's mark which says "Doremus, Photograph Gallery, 85 Main Street, Paterson, NJ"
I was able to locate the subject in a rather large pdf file courtesy of the New Jersey Genealogical Society of Bergen County.

Our common relative is John A. Van Emburgh born in 1860. He is my great grandfather on my father's side. His son, S. Lloyd Van Emburgh is my father's father and my grandfather. This is John A. Van Emburgh's sister. Would that make her my father's great aunt?
ReplyDeleteYes, it would! Or your grandfather's aunt. It may have been your grandfather who wrote the words on the back; "Aunt Adnee Vamenburgh".
DeleteThank you for doing this research work! It's very interesting to find a picture of a relative!
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to send the photo to you if you'd like to have it back in your family's care. (I am not related to her; just found her in an antique store.)
