A Closer Look (Part 83)

Panemunėlis, Lithuania, about 1902 to 1904. This is Bronislava. Bronislava was the wife of my Dad's paternal uncle Kazimieras. Bronislava was the mother of Henry and Vytas. That also makes her my Kaunas Cousin's Great-Grandmother.

Here's the original post.

A Closer Look (Part 28)

Tambov, Russia, 1902. This is Nina K., the mother of my paternal Grandmother, Tatjana. The dark-haired members of my family (like my Dad) take after this, the Russian, side.

Here's the original post.

A Closer Look (Part 7)

Panemunėlis, Lithuania, about 1902 to 1904. This is my paternal Grandfather, Vytautas. I posted the photo earlier here.

A Closer Look (Part 5)

Panemunėlis, Lithuania, about 1902 to 1904. This is Charles ("Karolis"), the first husband of my paternal Grandfather Vytautas's paternal aunt, Stanislava. I posted the photo earlier here.

I have a relative who, when young, looked a lot like Charles.

Reaching Back

Tambov, Russia, 1902. This is my Great-Grandmother, Nina K. Here's the original post.

This image shows Nina K. visiting her daughter, Tatjana, and Tatjana's twins. Here's Nina K. later in life. This post explains why Nina K. looked so rattled later in life.

Recognizable

Šiauliai, Lithuania, about 1902. We are working on firmly identifying the people in this photo. I believe they are, from left to right: my Dad's paternal Uncle, Kaz; Kaz's wife, Bronislava; my Dad's paternal Grandmother, Salomea (I am certain this is she), and; my Dad's paternal aunt, Stanislava.

Thanks to my Toronto Cousin for making this photo available to us.

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.

This is how we dressed in 1902.

Here's one of the last photos of Nina that I have to post. She was twenty-seven years old when she stood for this shot. Her eldest child, my paternal Grandmother Tatjana, was then five years old.

I wonder what Nina thought as she stood there, waiting for the photographer to work his magic.

Tambov, Russia, 1902. My paternal Grandmother's mother, Nina K., poses for a formal portrait. Tatjana wrote on the back of this photo—in Russian and in Lithuanian—"My most sweet mother Nina, photo taken in the year 1902 in the city of Tambov."
