This negative envelope says, “Steve & Children (Steve Krisilion) #625.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• New York Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists include an entry for Steve “Kisilion” a 37-year-old merchant leaving Naples on 29 August 1931 aboard the Conte Grande arriving in New York on 7 September 1931. With him are his wife Maria and 9 month old daughter Olympia.
• According to the Portland City Directories from 1932 to 1938, Steve and Mary Krisilion lived together.
• Steve and Maria/Mary were divorced before April 1939 when Steve married Connie Pappas in New Hampshire. I have been unable to find Steve or Maria in the 1940 Census.
• Some Ancestry Trees suggest that Steve and Mary had two children, a girl and a boy.
I am quite sure the girl in this photo is Olympia Krisilion about 1934.
