Wednesday's Portrait: Dabuliewicz/Ellert/Ruski Family Portrait

 Today's Portrait: 

Spring 1906



When I came upon this gem, oh man, was I one happy family historian! 

The baby on the man's lap to the left, that's my great-grandmother Josephine Jeckering (married name). 

You can read all about her family abandonment, adoption, etc in a different post here.


The best way to describe this picture in a post like this-- 


Stanley Ellert (1849-1930) & Pauline Yocavich (1854-1937) married. They are the two older couple in the front/bottom row. They had 3 children: Stephania, Joseph and Mary (all pictured in the back row consecutively). 

Stephania Ellert married Josef Dabuliewicz (pictured below her, next to her mother). He is holding their daughter Josephine. 

Mary Ellert married John James Ruski (pictured below her, beside her father). He is holding their son Michael.

Who else thinks that Stephania and Mary look like twins?! :)
