Young M.R.L.
Here's a photo of my grandfather's sister MRL when she was young. I have others; apparently her mother had her portrait taken many times.

Hi Linda!
ReplyDeleteI'm gathering material for a book on my FRESCHL family and have just discovered the connection between my FRESCHL family and Curt (Kurt) Freshel (FRESCHL)!Curt was my 1st cousin, 2x removed, and I have his ancestry (male line) back to abt 1740 to a little Bohemian village. The family is Jewish (another reason he probably changed his name). Please get in touch!
He is not on my website yet as I just discovered the connection.
