Miscellaneous Family Photos
Joseph and Lydia Spiess Neubauer's sons
The writing on the bottom says Emil, Christian, Karl
The back of the photo says FotoGraf, Nicolae P. Xanthopulo, Sulina
So this photo was taken in Romania before Christian & Karl came to America!
This photo also says FotoGraf, Nicolae P. Xanthopulo, Sulina,
but it is not marked on the front. It is possible one of them is Lydia Spiess Neubauer,
writing to her brother Fred.
There is a German inscription on the back
Lieber Fred
Gottes Reichen Segen
Wuenschen wier dier
u Vamilia zum
Jahre 1906
Translated:
Dear Fred
God's rich blessing
we wish you and family
for the year 1906
This one seems to be of the same era, but there are no inscriptions.
Does anyone recognize the uniform?
(*The German Spiesses think this may be Johann Spiess in a Hungarian Uniform)
