Jakob Kroeker, Wernigerode, Germany, ca. 1917
"Einen herzlichen Gruss, lieber Hans und Tina u. Kinder von Euren Euch liebenden alten Eltern, Tübingen, 28. Juni 47" [Loving greetings, dear Hans and Tina and children, from your loving old parents, Tübingen(Germany), 28 June 1947] Jakob Kroeker, Anna (Langemann) Kroeker
Can anyone identify this group of people? Possible surnames might be Goertzen, Schmidt, Kroeker, Langemann, Janzen. The print is obviously a fairly modern copy of two older photos.
Contact me if you have any clues. John D. Thiesen
Photo of the Jacob Thiesen family ca. 1869. But who are the extra children? They just had 4 children, who are probably the youngest 4 in this photo. Who are the 3 older boys?
Johann Kroeker (1847-1914) (my great-great grandfather) and 2nd wife Gertrude Wiens (1871-1944); maybe a wedding photo in 1889 in Russia
