An inscription, written by Hans Martin Sutermeister, identifies this photo pedigree as being, “Pour le 40ème anniversaire de mariage de nos chers parents [for the 40th anniversary of our dear parents] Otto Sutermeister et Ernestine Moehrle.” You may look at a larger version of the album page at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Unsern_lieben_Eltern_zum_1ten_August_1896.jpg.
RESEARCH TIP: Do you display you genealogy trees? Many pedigrees languish in file folders and binders, never to see the light of day. Why not take a tip from this early example of what we might now term “scrap-booking,” and display your heritage so everyone in the family can enjoy it and ask questions about the entries and pictures on it!
