Abraham Daniel Duerksen Family Photo 1920

 Info given by Greg Pilgrim:   "A J Duerksen in the back row on the right.  In front of him is Clara Flinn Duerksen holding Carolyn Louise Pilgrim Duerksen.  The baby in the front row on the left is Thelma Jean Duerksen, the daughter of Abraham J  and Clara Duerksen who died in 1922.  The boy sitting on the lap in the middle of the picture is George A Duerksen the son of Abraham J and Clara Duerksen."

 A.D. / Abraham Daniel Duerksen family

A.D. / Abraham Daniel Duerksen  (father of the family and my great-grandfather)

George A. Duerksen  (small boy in front)

Lawana is the name that keeps coming to mind for the little girl behind George.

Susanna (Richart) Duerksen  (mother of the family and my great-grandmother)

Clara (Flinn) Duerksen (Clara is holding on her lap her daughter Carolyn Louise Pilgrim Duerksen)

                                                    

Back row standing left to right:     

Abraham Nuefeld Wiebe (my grandfather)

Anna Duerksen

Daniel Duerksen

Rose Duerksen

A.J. / Abraham Joseph Duerksen ( I hope I got the middle name correct)

If I remember correctly, my mother told me that Lawana was not a member of the family but stayed with them. If anyone has information on this little girl in the middle of the picture standing behind the small boy, please leave a comment or email me.

I want to know their relation to my Grandmother Mary Sarah Duerksen Wiebe?

Mystery Photo

The Picture below is Fred, Mary Sarah Duerksen Wiebe, and mystery male. I believe he's my grandmother's brother, Abe. I'm not sure.

Who can tell me the name of the man?  

Who can tell me the date and the occasion this photo was taken?

Duerksen Family Photos

On the back of the photo of the little baby girl it says, "Thelma Jean Duerksen, this girl is missing Mrs. Mary (Duerksen) Wiebe Sister."

Information sent to me by Greg Pilgrim concerning Thelma Jean Duerksen states:  " Thelma Jean Duerksen, the daughter of Abraham J  and Clara Duerksen. She died in 1922."  
The information on the back of the photo appears to be wrong.

If anyone has any information concerning Thelma Jean Duerksen please let me know. 

The following photos were taken in Bessie, Oklahoma at a family reunion. I'm not sure of the date.

The post card below is in Russian or German. Written by my great-grandfather in 1947. I have no idea what it says. Wish someone could translate it for me.
