Awesome find

[greeneyedsadie]

So yesterday we found my Great Grandfather Fred's baptismal certificate from 1896, and on it were the names of his parents, Martin and Elizabeth, my Great Great Grandparents.

Yes! I have had these awesome pictures that I haven't been able to scan yet because I didn't have these names.

Let Elizabeth in the 1880s invite you in:






Martin and Elizabeth in the early 1890s - this was probably a wedding portrait:




Elizabeth in 1899:




This woman is Fred's Grandmother, or my Great Great Great Grandmother. I don't have her name. The photo just said, "Dada's Grandmother". I guess this picture is sometime in the 1890s.




Here's a picture of Martin and Elizabeth (on the left) and I think is the same woman above, which would probably make the two young men Martin's brothers. Martin and his brothers were all coal miners in Wyoming. This picture is probably from the 1890s, maybe 1900.




Here's Martin in the 1910s:




Martin and Elizabeth in the 1910s:




Fred (my Great Grandfather) in the 1910s - he was probably 15 or 16 here:




And his two brothers at around the same time:

Martin Jr.:




Jonathan:




Here's Elizabeth with my Great Great Grandmother Minnie, (they were mothers in law) in 1935:




Here's Martin and Elizabeth and Martin Jr. in 1948:




I'm excited about this find.
