I have been fortunate in discovering some family connections that have led me to see photos I've never seen before. I treasure such connections as my grandparents either died before I was born or when I was very young.

I'm very interested in connecting with anyone from the Minnesota Hegenbart, or the Minnesota/Wisconsin Murphys.

Also, I'm interested in the Phipps family in Western Iowa. As well as the Wheeler and Shaw families originating in Black Hawk County, Iowa with members that migrated West to Sioux City.

In particular, I'd like to connect with any of those Wheelers and Shaws who may be able to help me identify photos in a rather old album that features photographers from Waterloo and Sioux City.
