Patience Please!

This is a work in progress. It started because of the surprisingly large amount of people who showed interest in the family photos I posted ...

I do not know the woman on the far left. Next to her is Caroline (Lena) Curran (nee Thielen). The couple on the right are Agnes and Martin Durliat.

Okay, for you youngsters who are looking at these people, wondering how they are related to you, here's my attempt at clearing it up. Rose Sturtz (the matriarch of this blog) was the daughter of Louis and Mary Capelle. Mary Capelle's maiden name was Thielen. This picture features Mary's sister, Caroline Curran (nee Thielen). Caroline actually went by Lena. So, when you hear a story referencing "Aunt Lena," she was Rose Sturtz's Aunt. Agnes Durliat (nee Capelle) was Rose's second sister, therefore, Lena was also aunt to the woman sitting next to her, Agnes.

  1. The woman on the far left may be Rose Reichert, Aunt Lena's sister.

  2. This is Jean responding: I don't know who the woman on the left is but I think the house is hers and Lena, Mart and Agnes were visiting her and possibly Tom Curran or the unknown woman's husband was taking the picture.
