Paul & Lawrence

Today we have a picture of the two youngest Johannsen children. On the left we have Paul Johannsen and on the right we have Lawrence/Lorenz. I haven't a clue where this was taken so if anybody can offer any clues, I would be much obliged.

Timeframe: Roughtly between 1917 & late 1920. Sadly, that doesn't come from any information in this photograph but information from other pictures that were obviously taken at the same time and place. That would make Paul between 17 & 20 and Lorenz between 15 & 18.

Where It Fits: Lawrence/Lorenz & Paul are the two youngest children of Julius Johannsen & Caroline Japsen. Lorenz is the father of James Johannsen & Joyce Allen. Paul never married and has no children.

In History: Today Paul would have turned 110. Today is also the 18th birthday of James Laing. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!

Four brothers

Today we have John Cornelius, Paul Georg, August Martin and Nelson Ludwig Johannsen. Judging by the background they are at Julius Johannsen & Caroline Japsen's house. Today Nelson would be 115 years old.

Timeframe: There is a very unique stamp on the back that places this picture in 1911. That would put John at roughly 19, Paul at about 11 (although I think he looks older), August at 21 and Nelson is 16.

Where It Fits: John, Paul, August & Nelson are the sons of Julius & Caroline Johannsen. They are the fathers of Norman, Alma, Ervin, Harold, Phyllis & Richard. They are the grandchildren of Wilhelm & Marie (Christiansen) Johannsen and Niels & Maria (Lorenzen) Japsen.
