TEMPEL FAMILY

Wessel Tempel and wife Bernida.

This was actually a postcard sent to Closs Wemmering in Shannon, Illinois.

It looks as if it was sent from Wisconsin in 1910 or so (the postmark is smudged).

Someone wrote on it "Grandma Wemmering's brother)

(Note from Tammy (Rootsweb World Connect) - Wessel (b 9 Sep 1837 Tichelwarf, Ostfriesland Germany and Antje Tempel b 16Jun 1839 Uttum, Ostriesland Germany, had a son Wessel (b: 1873) who married Barentje "Dena" Hinders in 1895, Wessel Tempel (b: 1837) didn't have a sister that married a Wemmering (at least to my knowledge), so the note on it "Grandma Wemmering's brother" wouldn't fit with Wessel (b:1837). I don't have any Wemmering in my tree, but it wouldn't have been my directline so I just may not have it yet.
