There are dozens with that name in the area, and this is documented by his very brave and talented daughter. So you see why research has so many folds in the fabric...and we need people like you to unravel it all. Thank you. Did your great Aunt Gret travel? I always wondered where she got her inspiration for the Dutch couple.Awinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957020764756365293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459115842890402911.post-77867990554369638602012-10-16T15:54:41.919-05:002012-10-16T15:54:41.919-05:00From what I found on Ancestry.com, both Sontag bro...From what I found on Ancestry.com, both Sontag brothers married. It's not necessarily bad to be left (or to leave someone) at the altar; better that than to be married and not have the marriage work out. But it may explain why Gretchen didn't marry my Uncle Lee until she was around 40. She may have wanted to be very careful when she finally took that big step.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing Gretchen's pictures - the one you own and the one you found, Amy - that's what made the post!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459115842890402911.post-82782243838613951742012-10-16T15:42:18.251-05:002012-10-16T15:42:18.251-05:00What a lovely post recognizing a delightful gal fr...What a lovely post recognizing a delightful gal from our past. I must make one thing very clear on the Sontag portion. It is definitely not Arby because he married and had 6 children, and most of those families are in the area. They are 2nd cousin's of mine and the extended family's are also known to me from those 6 children. Upstanding people at every angle you look at them. The artist in Gretchen is what we are looking to further. Thank you Amanda for bringing it to the surface. Awinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16957020764756365293noreply@blogger.com
