Luella Robinson 1900's, Rockford, Ohio

This darling little girl is Luella Robinson, age 3 years. She is standing on a rather interesting chair that has only one arm. The flower-pattern border around the picture is unlike one I've seen before, though I think it's very pretty.

A long list of names, but no idea to whom each one belongs! With the help of a Liberty Ladies College yearbook on ancestry.com, I was able to find some of these names but little information. I did find Professor John M. Staley (the man in the hat on the second row from the top), who's many qualifications are listed in the 1898 edition of the yearbook:

Herman and Elinore Paul 1900's, Budapest

"Our cousin and wife
mother's brother son

her nephew Herman Paul

and Elinore Paul."

"Mother's brother children
Our cousin Herman and Elinore Paul and family
in Germany."

This is the Paul family from Germany, which includes Herman, his wife Elinore, and their five children. They are fashionably dressed, which suggests that they may have been well-off. The little girls in the picture appear to be holding crocheted sacks with some sort of balls in them. I wonder if anyone might know what those are?

Maxine, Henry, and Sharie Kay Atkins 1941

"Maxine
Henry
Sharie Kay Atkins 3 Mos Feb 24, 41
Taken March 2- 41"

This is a little snapshot of the Atkin family posing on a bed with their 3 month-old baby, Sharie (?) Kay. She seems like a very wiggly little girl!

Group of Women 1910's

Edit: "From left to right back row
first row
Emma Lange,
Clara Brieschke,2) row Clara Lange Wells
Emma Zimmerling Kossow,
3 Bertha and Anna Zimmerling"

Thanks for the help with this!

(Unfortunately, I couldn't make sense of all the names here. Maybe someone could help me out with that?)

I don't know about a man with two wives, like in this week's Sepia Saturday prompt, but I do have some sisters! Two Emmas and two Claras. It seems Emma Lange and Clara Lange are sisters. Emma Z., Bertha, and Anna are family (is Bertha the mother?). Clara B. doesn't appear to fit in with any of the families. Maybe she was just a friend?

It took a while to translate that handwriting. I love the detail the writer puts into describing what each building was and I'm sure it could be very helpful for someone trying to identify the family. 

Here is a closer look at the writing:
