Subject: Schaljo (Chaliot) Family Research

Carol Filippi had done significant work on the origins of the Schaljo (Chaliot) family that lived in Klein Jetscha, tracing them back to the 1715 birth of Johann Philipp Chaliot in Bening-les-Harprich, Loraine.

This class picture from Klein Jetscha dated 1913 includes my grandfather, Mathias Hui.  My grandmother wrote a note on the back that it was of all the children born in Klein Jetscha in 1906.
 
I've heard from one other person who recognized her grandfather in the photo.  Can anyone else identify a family member from this photo?
 
Thanks, Kathy
