On the photo is my grandfather Nosel Michal.
This photo Michal Nosel made to his brother, Juzef Nosel, who left for the USA around 1920-30.
Juzef Nosel married an American of the Ukrainian origin.
Before departure to the USA Juzef Nosel lived in the village of Perelom, which was on the bank of the river Neman, approximately 30 km. from town of Grodno (western Byelorussia). In that time, these areas belonged to Poland.
After 1939, when this territory was grasped by the Soviet Union, it was forbidden to write and to receive the correspondence from abroad and, because of this, all contacts with the family were lost.
