A walk down memory lane...

May I introduce some of my great-grandparents to you?

As far as I know everybody should have four (pairs of) great-grandparents.
Everything else would be a surprise...

This goodlooking couple with the family name Demmer are the parents of my grandmother on my father's side Johanna Weil, née Johanna Demmer.
Unfortunately I do not know their first names, so I have to ask my father before this information will vanish into thin air. As far as I'll get it I'm going to enter it up.

*** Now I know: Johanna & Wilhelm Demmer ****

Nevertheless: It was clearly great-grandfather Demmer I got my characteristical nose from... ;-))

For aught I see the photographs are taken in 1935.
Fortunately I know the village and even the house where the unknown photographer captured the scene. It's at Weilburg-Kubach, in the middle of the German state of Hesse (German: Hessen).

Obviously it was a Sunday when this photo was taken.
Because everybody was dolled up in Sunday best... ;-)

This fifth picture must be much older.
It shows again my great-grandmother with her children when she was still a younger mother. The baby on her lap must be my grandmother Johanna.

This was the original photograph I got several years ago to scan and edit.
It was NOT taken with a digital camera.
;-)
