Pictures of Bev's Ancestors

All the pictures linked to from this page, with the exception of the map of Steven's Point and the picture of Susan Brychel, are pictures my grandmother, Marge, has in Chicago. She graciously lent them to me to scan and put on this web page. Each picture will open in a separate browser window, and then you can simply close it to see this page again. They are all very large files, because I still have NOT REALLY learned how to make small files out of pictures.

Map of Brychel farm This is a map of John Brychel's farm (see Chart #1 person #8) in Steven's Point, Wisconsin. It is before 1900 but I don't know exactly when. The full view is a very large (350 K) jpeg file and you can see it here.

Susan Brychel a.k.a. Zuzanna Turzynski This is a picture of Susan Brychel (see Chart #1 person #9) and some of her family in Chicago, Illinois. I believe it is between 1920 and her death in 1925. The full view is here and it is a (96 K) jpeg file.

DeFrancisco tombstone This is a picture of my great Grandma, Angelina (Tenuta) DeFrancisco (see Chart #1 person #7) and her daughter, my great Aunt Mary, at the graveside of Dominick DeFrancisco. This is in Chicago, Illinois, and I am guessing it is 1938, because Dominick died in late 1937. The full view is a (188 K) jpeg file and you can see it here.

Mom in grammar school This is a mom, Laura (Brychel) Wilson (see Chart #1 person #1) in grammar school.

With all of these pictures, I have cropped a lot of things and made them as small as I was able to. For any picture, if you want to see the original scan before I messed around with them, feel free to email me at [email protected] and let me know which picture you'd like.
