   Eduard LIEBELT & A.D. PAECH

Glenn LIEBELT discovered this photo book in the roof space of his great, great, great grandfathers home in 1992/3.

Glenn said it was lying on the ceiling, under hefty redgum roof trusses [with  cross cut saw marks and some roman numerals chiselled into the timbers] and it was in a box and covered by paper.

 When Glenn showed it to me he had wanted it to be returned to 'the family' who it belonged to.

 Wanting to try and identify the individuals was the reason we started the 'Liebelt Family History' facebook page, where we got some positive results.  

I think as we all contribute to identifying the individuals below we will find that 'the family' was always actually Glenn's  family which began with the STEINBORN/LIEBELT relationship.

Each of the 3 photos is mounted on the same photographic card of 'MORA'.

46  Louise Bertha PAECH, mother of Wilhelm left. 

Relationship to Glenn LIEBELT

Wilhelm is a 1C2R from the collection owner Glenn LIEBELT of Blakiston.

Wilhelm is a 1st cousin to Glenn's grandfather Clarence Albert LIEBELT b 14 January 1910.

Louise Bertha PAECH is a great great Aunt to Glenn LIEBELT.

On Wilhelm's father's side his ancestors were:  grandparents: Annie Elizabeth SEIDEL b1836 & Johan Karl NITSCHKE

Photo no 2: Female child on the left.

Could this child, '2',  be Wilhelm's older sister Hulda Alfreda NITSCHKE b 24 April 1906. How does this photo taken by the same photographer, different furniture, relate to the photo below. Wilhelm only had 2 older sisters.

Photo no 28:  2 little girls either side of Wilhelm Johann Carl NITSCHKE,

? taken on same day as top photo, Wilhelm is in the same clothes, shoes and socks, different chair.

There were only 2 other older sisters to Wilhelm: Vera Augusta b1903 and Hulda Alfreda b1906.

Reverse of 28

Each of these 3 photos had this exact same backing characteristics indicating they may have been displayed together at some stage.

The 13 THIELE children were:

1. Johann Gottfried b1841 m 1st wife Rebecca SIMPSON b1844 then 2nd wife  Johanna Pauline REUGNER b1859. The mother of the 3 BEARD children was born from this 2nd marriage to REUGNER.
