16mm Reel - Vacation Late 1950's - Looking for Lost Relatives

My grandfather was Albert Leo Sherman(Deceased). My Grandmother was Pauline Sherman (Deceased) (Maiden name hearst I believe). My father was Eliot Marshall Sherman(Died 1998). back in the 1960's or 70's he was married to a woman named Nancy. My father was adopted. There was an adopted sister, Susan Sherman, who changed her name.

These 16mm reels date from approx. 1954 to 1969. They often stop short, cut off, slow down, and I often am zooming in and out. This is the best I could do using a 1947 Keystone K-161, recording on a wall with an old videocamera. These are priceless reels from the past. I do not know a single relative from my father's side of the family. He died when I was 10. I am his son. If anyone out there recognizes any of these names, or any of these faces, most are dead by now. All the young children in the videos are now close to retirement. I was too young to remember my grandparents for the most part. They were all Jewish, grandparents came over from Russia and adopted my father. Help me find relatives!

For all others, please enjoy viewing some ancient history of what things were like for a very welathy family in the 1950's. There is no music, just the sound of the projector.
