There's a Hjertstedt Family group on facebook. There's quite a few of us out there. And I only know a handfull. My grandfather had 9 kids. One died as an infant. His brother lived next door in the city and had 12 kids. There was some bad-blood between the brothers (Depression era?), and I really don't know many of my relatives. But I'm in this facebook group now and a distant cousin posts old pictures. And here's one I never saw before. This is my grandfather and grandmother with their first child who died of Diphtheria at age 5.

My dad was the 9th of 9 kids. My gramma died when I was a baby. Grampa died when I was 11. I knew him.

Somebody needed to straighten his bowtie. Maybe it was one of those spinner types.

I love old pictures. We have Melva's grandparents' wedding picture. Her grandpa August Schmidt at that age looks exactly like my best friend, guitar buddy, and 2nd cousin Gary Schmidt. No connection we know of except all being old Schmidts from Darmstadt.
