This is a family of Friedrich Napoleon Koenemann, my great-grandfather (June 27, 1838 - March 23, 1903), sitting second from the left, and his wife, Olga Ivanovna Gnedich (1849-1925), sitting first from the right. They are shown at this photo with their seven children and, as we can figure it out, with two servants (woman and man standing at the right in the back row.) My grandmother Olga (1891-1976), the youngest sibling, shown standing third from the right. This photo does not have a date on it, but made, probably in summer 1902, because next March, in 1903 Friedrich has died. My grandma Olga must be 10 or 11 years old at this photo (born July 1st, 1891.) The picture was taken at the family datcha in Tayninka near Moscow, Russia. |
