The albums included on this page include the following surnames of the families that I am related to: Rettammel, Wendland, Podrasky, Noa and Knirsch. The pictures range in years from 1880’s to the 1950s and were taken in the following states: Wisconsin, Illinois, and Louisiana and the country of Australia during my Rettammel Uncles’ WWII service with the 121 ST Field Artillery of the 32nd Division. Some of the Wendland family pictures are in need of proper identification of people but most are known.
