Guess who - with Grandma Sartori (that's Swiss you know)
Sargent Michael Burke - Badge #102 of the Saint Louis Metropolitan Police - paternal great grandpa
Margaret (nee Coyne) Burke - paternal great grandma - poor gal was only 27 when she died leaving behind five children (Margaret, Beatrice, Agnes, John and Ambrose) and a husband - look at how pretty she is
Grandma Margaret (nee Burke) and Albert Chenot - paternal grandparents - her middle name is Ignatius
The Chenot's wedding day -grandma and grandpa are on the right side - the bridesmaid is grandma's sister - Bea (I think)
Millie Niemuth and Lorenz Sartori - maternal grandparents
Mildred Niemuth - isn't she something!
Lorenz and Mildred Sartori on their wedding day
The Sartori clan - Lefty, Millie and children - starting at the left Mitzi, Lefty (or Sonny), Marilyn and Lydia
The Cunningham girls - Doug's maternal grandma and aunts - Eleanor, Pat and Carol
Earl (or Bud -they all had code names) and Eleanor nee Cunningham Poertner with Dolores Cunningham on their wedding day - maternal grandparents
This, I believe is Doug's great, great grandparents whose names I am determined to find out - this picture was in a frame of Dorothy Beck's which is Doug's paternal grandma. Hint to all - always put the name of your subjects on the back of photos!!!!
Dorothy (nee Dohack) and Edward Beck - Doug's paternal grandparents -not too many old pictures of them exist
The Sartori boys - not sure who's who but they are Lorenz, Alois, Raymond and Clarence - this was taken in their backyard of a house rumored to once be a houseboat which was hauled up from the Mississippi river and still exists to this day on Nebraska street.
The Sartori boys playing marbles and I believe the one in the hat to be my Grandpa Lefty and the other boy to be Uncle Clarence
