My second cousin, Mara, has been sending me various Breitenstein family photographs as she unearths them. I love this, new pieces of history I haven’t seen before falling into my lap, unbidden. The last bunch included one with my mom, her mom, and Mara herself who resembles my mom, amazingly.
Breitenstein – Hughes Wedding Photographs
I couldn’t guess who the other little children were, so I emailed a different second cousin, the daughter of the bride, to check the wedding party participants. Laura sent back a labled photograph of the wedding party, still another photo of my mom, to help identify the people in the first photograph.
Cousins are great, thanks Mara and Laura. A bit of family history and two new photographs of my mom to make me smile.
The littlest girl was Mara, the little boy was David and the slightly older girl was Sharon.

FYI-The dress Carol Breitenstein is wearing was worn by Mother*Dorothy B. Fulghum, and by me at my first wedding. Since each generations is better fed that their parents, we had to rip half the seams out to get me in and the rest of the sides to get me out. The seamtress cut 4″ off the train and put in 2″ gussets on each side and the top of the bodice line. Each of our 3 names is embroidered on the train. Carol Sr, DBF, MRFJS, and some of our female children wore the hat baseand/or lace with variations in their weddings. I will have to confirm just who.
