John William Blumenstiel

John William Blumenstiel (1883-1976), my maternal great-grandfather. Born in 1883 in Reichensachsen, Hessen, his family immigrated to Freeport, Illinois, USA in 1885. I believe this rather surreal photo of him was taken after he moved to Detroit, in the early 1900s. #falknerjarrell #blumenstielgenealogy #familyhistory #genealogy #familyphotos #ancestry #history #knowyouroots #antiquephotograph #family #vintagephotography #oldphotos #oldphoto #ancestor...

Bing Schermack (1920s)

Unidentified woman holding Bing Schermack, a Pekingese (1920s). Bing was the canine child of my 2x great-grandmother, Amelia Schauer Schermack. The woman could be one of Amelia’s sisters or nieces, but I need to do more work to confirm her identity. #falknerjarrell #schermackgenealogy #schermack #freeportillinois #illinois #familyhistory #genealogy #familyphotos #oldphoto #oldphotos #illinoishistory #detroit #detroithistory #michigan...
