This first photo was taken about 1922, not sure where, but probably in Alix, but possibly Denning. In the 1920 census, my family was living in Alix and a 1923 baptismal record (from St. Mary's, Altus) also shows the family in Alix.

In row 2, going left to right, the eighth chile is my uncle, Edward Chrostowski (small arrow drawn on photo).

In row 1, left to right, the 5th child is my mother, Jadwiga (aka Harriet or Hedwig) Chrostowski.

Edward and Jadwiga were the oldest children of Martin and Wanda (Gawrys) Chrostowski.

PHOTO TWO: About 1923

I think this was taken about 1923, probably in Alix, possibly in Denning. I can only identify one child, my mother, Jadwiga (aka Harriet or Hedwig) Chrostowski, daughter of Martin & Wanda (Gawrys) Chrostowski. Jadwiga is in the second row, kneeling behind the ros of sitting boys, in the dark blouse with V-shaped trim.

PHOTO THREE: About 1924

I think this was taken about 1924, probably in Alix, possibly in Denning. (I would love someone to identify the school and/or town!)

I can identify three of my family, the oldest of 7 children of Martin & Wanda (Gawrys) Chrostowski:

Looking left to right:

Row 2, child #5: Edward Chrostowski, born 1914

Row 1, child #4: Carl Chrostowski, born 1917

Row 1, last child: Jadwiga (aka Harriet or Hedwig) Chrostowski, born 1915

By the way, if you use my name and email on the website (which is fine), please list my genealogy email address, nini_andr@yahoo.com. I try to keep my mail a little orderly that way!

Let me know if these scans are OK or if you want me to rescan and resend.

Enjoy!
