Another surname spelling in census is Beegle and another is Buckley. We believe the surname to be Begell, not Begall. This photo was found in Albany County, NY. It is a beautiful close up image of two young children wearing stunning clothing. Martie appears to be about 4-5 years old and his sister Mattie appears about 2.5 years. We also found Begell or Begall family in nearby Cornell, Steuben County, New York.

Note: Hello from ~debra. I have spent years collecting over 10,000 ID’d lost family photos & paper from US flea markets & antique shops. I do the best gen research I can, but am always open to corrections. This is an original antique item, not a reprint. A new high quality rigid sleeve is included for extra protection, especially during shipping. You may buy a piece alone, or large intimate 300 dpi scans of the front and back sent immediately via email, or both. Please search carefully, as they are often found together and many may be related. I also invite you to join me at Ancestorville Genealogy on facebook. Thank you, enjoy! ~Debra Clifford (contact info on top bar)
