The people in this photo are not identified, but the seated, bearded man and the woman next to him are probably Theodore and Bertha Gerritzen.

Every  clue says this is the grave of Johan Gerritzen, father of the first Theodor Gerritzen and grandfather of Theodore Gerritzen. If we could only find some documentation!


A Note about Photos
We're sharing our photos with you--will you share yours with us? Our ancestors probably would have liked all of their descendants to have everything they left, and with the copying technology we have now, it's possible for all of us to have copies of all the photos and documents. Even if you don't have a scanner, you can use a machine at a store to put a copy of a photo on a CD that you can send by e-mail.
