JPZ and who?  Where?
JFZ figures that the lady is Julia Mostkowska Zdrojewski.  See John's comment, below.

Would someone please write a caption for this?  Who's that by the mirror; he looks like Casey! but as JFZ points out, this grouping is all Kaminskis.    Cecelia is on the right with  son Paul and daughter Celine.  I bet the beautiful lady with a glass in one hand and Celine in the other is Celine's grandmother; Cecelia's mother.  Who are the others? The youth behind Cecelia looks like my son Andrew; the whole thing freaks me out. I like those wall sconces.  I like the party atmosphere.

Anthony Zdrojewski was the third son of Ludwig and Victoria.  These are his wife, Anna ("Auntie Anna") and one of their daughters, Mariane.

Tony and Anna had two daughters - who was the other one? - and a son Ray.

The dining room at 175 May Street.  Ludwig, Victoria, Uncle Frank smiling!,Celine, John Peter, Casey, Eleanor with Electronics Johnny, little boy Paul, Cecelia, Aunt Julia??.  Next, the lady in the darker dress, seated at the corner, and : gent seated at the front end of the table: Eleanor's parents, Joseph and Louise Kotwas.  See JFZ's Comment, below.
  I remember so many details of that house, such as the gigantic padded rocker in the kitchen.  Check out the terrific telephone.  John, did you tell me once that your Dad phoned you at college every Friday night at 8pm?  Or am I making that up?

Identify these people and win a prize!  Fur coats and shoes.  The shoes are coming back in style, aren't they; but the fur has to be fake in the US in order to be correct.

Uncle Joe, Aunt Julia, Joseph Jr.

Celine's birthday party, about 1947, correct? John was born in late 1947, so this is maybe 1948?  Next to the birthday girl is Paul Zadner, then his mother Cecelia, then Aunt Julia.  Julia is married to Joseph Zdrojewski, and maybe Uncle Joe is taking the photo.  Their son, also Joseph, sits in Julia's lap.  Next we have Eleanor Zdrojewski and her son John, aka "Electronics, Johnny."

Standing, back left, is Paul's and Celine's Daddy, Casimir.

Joseph Zdrojewski was the fifth son of Ludwig and Victoria.

What did Joseph do for a living? Answer:  see JFZ's Comment. Is this photo taken at Joseph's house, or on May Street?  I like Ludwig's snazzy tie.  And vests on gentlemen are  sexy, aren't they?  Sort of Bat Masterson-ish.

This isn't Joe at all, but rather Johnny, "JFZ," with his godfather, Uncle Stanley, and his godmother,  Emily.
See JFZ's Comment, below.

This is uncle Joe's house, Paul Zadner tells me.  Let's see:  Joseph Jr. in the rocker.  Check out those white shoes. My mother put bells on my brother Marty's white shoes.  Was it for fun, or to know where he was?  Delightful, anyway.  (Hey, I didn't get bells!)  Celine, looking dazed.  Aunt Julia, hands on rocker.  Eleanor and Johnny. The beautiful Cecelia, mother of Paul and Celine.  Paul in cowboy shirt.  Grandma Victoria with star at throat of her dress; Merry Christmas, dear.  Casimir by the window? Nope, JFZ says that's Uncle Joe.  Grandpa Ludwig, looking pretty happy.  Nice wallpaper and cabinetry:  look, joinery in the room divider, and a glass-fronted cabinet, all built into the house.  Even modest homes in those days had the work of craftsmen in them.

A Cozy-looking Zdrojewski Group

This photo was in a box upstairs.  What a cozy-looking house; I can almost smell the gingerbread.
Let's zoom in on the people.

Eleanor is second from the right.  Who are the other people?  Whose house is it?
