More Clues

After I posted an early-twentieth-century photo of some relatives, my Toronto Cousin sent me an image of family members from about 1902. Only after I had looked at the photo for a while did I realize that I'd seen it before here. One of the persons in the photo was a well known pastor who was a pioneer of educational reform during the time Tsarist Russia still occupied Lithuania.

Panemunėlis, Lithuania, about 1902 to 1904. Seated, left to right: my paternal Grandfather's uncle, the priest; my paternal Grandfather, Vytautas, still a boy; Vytautas's mother, Salomea; Solomea's daughter, who died; Vytautas's sister, Victoria; Vytautas's paternal aunt, Stanislava. Standing, left to right: Charles, the first husband of Stanislava; a parish housekeeper; Bronislava, the mother of my Dad's cousins, Henry and Vytas; and Salomea's brother, Leo.

A housekeeper again appears in a family photo. You saw that occur earlier, here and here.

The males in my family strikingly resemble one another.

Family Outing in the Park

Members of my Dad's extended family relax in the park. Check out the headgear and the shoes:

Palanga, Lithuania, 1928. On the top row, from the left, sits my uniformed paternal Grandfather, Vytautas, my Dad, my Dad's cousin, my paternal Grandmother Tatjana, and my Dad's twin sister, Jonė. I believe the man with the walking stick, sitting on the bench, is Vytautas's maternal uncle Leo. To the right of Leo is Vytautas's sister, Victoria. The woman on the left end of the bench is probably Leo's daughter.
