This photo was given to me by my late father. It belonged to his
mother and it was taken somewhere in Lithuania -- possibly near the
Shetl of Rakikshok

My late grandmother Annie Epstein (maiden name something like Saturte?)
left her shetl which I think was Rakikshok, travelled to England where she
stayed until she left to join her husband Max Epstein who worked as a Baker in Liverpool before he left for Cape Town. She later followed him to
Cape Town, I think in the early 1900's. I know that she had two brothers who on lived in Liverpool and I am told
that their surname was MASS -- possibly name changed at Immigration to
Mass?
They were Pincus and Shloime Mass!! A son, Cecil Mass, a cousin, once
travelled to South Africa I believe

My Grandfather Max Epstein's, was born in Grodno -- Family legend is
that his actual surname was Fink or Finkelstein but he changed it to
Epstein (perhaps when he got married?)

I am trying to identify the attached picture.- I most probably think it is
relatives of Annie Epstein or even of Max Epstein (Finkelstein's
family)

If anyone identifies this photo, I would be most grateful
