The Jeremiasens - first look at my great-great grandparents



Today's email brought a very special treat - the first photograph I've ever seen of my great-great grandparents, Peder (Peter) Jeremiasen and his wife Elsie, with two of their children, Karen Marie and Peter Petersen. Denmark, 1885, three years before the family came to the United States to live in Waterloo, Iowa. The photograph is from the collection of Peter's granddaughter.
