What We Left Behind: geneaology

Descendants of Peter Britz (1825-1899) & Maria Anna Koch-Britz (1827-1889) - my great-great grandparents.

Found some fantastic old photos from my mother's mother's side of the family. It appears she was working on some genealogy in the mid 1960s. Some of the images are original, others were developed from old negatives.

While my sister & I were trying to decipher who everyone was - we stumbled upon a distant relative online & some info they had further helped us unravel a few more details of lineage. What a kick to learn my mother's mother's side of the family came from a "colorful" past - gambling, horse thieves & even a few illegitimate children.

Britz Family - Original photo found

Charles Boog & Helena Britz Boog (my great grand aunt - daughter of Peter Britz & Marie Anne Koch) est year 1884


My Great Grandfather Huebotter's Mother's (Mary Caroline Mofield) Brother Heinrich "Henry" Mofield Note on back says "Father of Louis, Ida & Emma Mofield" Ida is circled. He is my 2nd Great Grand Uncle

Nutting on the Brazos

Back of Family Portrait "Nutting on the Brazos" - it reads "I moved and you couldn't see my face much. Guy said he and Bess were holding up pecans to show Grandma and Grandpa."

These images had no details on the back. All we can safely assume is they were taken in Texas.

It can be quite frustrating to find a fantastic photo of someone and have no clue who that someone is. These are a few of the recent discoveries we struggle to identify. I've numbered them and sent them off to the genealogy expert in our family to see if he can help identify some of the folks. These are all my father's mother's side of the family, Pinborough / Vince, and likely friends and cousins.
