Old Family Photos - Some Descendents of Jitze and Hieke

 

I recently received some scans of old family pictures from Hieke via her daughter Afke. So I decided to put them on a page with a few others of which I had originals but which I could re-scan with a proper scanner, rather than relying on a digital photo of a paper photo as I had done before. So what yopu see below is a mixture of these recently acquired photos and some I had before.

Because the names Jitze, Hieke, and Afke come up a few times across generations, it helps to first see a diagram of who's who.

(1)   Jitze (1868-1939) and Hieke(1868-1940) - had 6 children, one of whom died in infancy. (Hieke's official name as registered on her birth certificate and noted on other government documents was actualy Hylkje.)

(2)  Hieke (Daughter of Afke) with grandmother Hieke

(3)  Hieke (Daughter of Afke) with grandfather Jitze

(4)  Baby Hieke, with her mother Afke

(5)  This is Hieke - daughter of Afke
