Gillette, Carpenter, Parker, and Teague families

New information recieved!  See under first photo.**

Gillette family in front of family home, 1914, with cousin Addie Hale. Along with Addie, the other three girls in the back don't have the surname Gillette, but seem to be included as part of the family by the contributor. Perhaps they were cousins being raised together? Who knows?

The Stoutenberg girls are Hannah's children from her first marriage. One child is missing for Hannah and one for D.C. from their 2nd marriages. The four youngest children are from this marriage. Hannah died later in the year and DC married for a 4th time. Addie Hale is a cousin to the Stoutenberg girls.

Thank you so much for sharing your family information, anonymous!

Inscription on back says, "Childen's Day at the Ad Club 3/25/14. Mr. & Mrs. Russell D. Carpenter, their family and ours. They now have seven children. Mr. Carpener is a Merchandise manager of our largest department store. The feather in Babe's hat got between me and the camera."

I think the huge feather the poor guy is trying to dodge is hilarious!

This is a blended family. This is a 3rd marriage for each spouse. The Stoutenberg girls are Hannah's children from her first marriage. One child is missing for Hannah and one for D.C. from their 2nd marriages. The four youngest children are from this marriage. Hannah died later in the year and DC married for a 4th time. Addie Hale is a cousin to the Stoutenberg girls.

Gillette Family

I forgot to include that this was an impromptu photo taken by an itinerant photographer. Addie Hale happened to be there and was included. She did not live with this family, but lived nearby.

Long awaited additions....

I don't know anyone but myself who has long awaited any additions to this picture blog, but isn't it best to assume the positive? Here are some photos from various genealogy or other sites. These are just thumbnails to tempt you. Clicking on the photo or on the link I give should link you to the family's site, to the page where the photo is. This is for courtesy and possibly copyright reasons. The Jacob-Buys family. Clicking on the picture above will take you to the original site, where names are listed under the photo. Upon reading a little further, I came up with these interesting points about this Dutch family. There were 19 children; two were born after this photo. Their given names were actually much more "interesting" than the ones under the photo. They are very Latin sounding. There were 60 grandchildren, from 9 of the children in the photo. Of the other 10 children in this family... 3 died as babies (3rd, 11th, and 18th children) 4 took holy orders (7...
