Sigrid, Singing With Her Family, Late 1920s

Sigrid, Singing With Her Family, Late 1920s
Brought forward for the Vintage Photos Theme Park theme of: THE SINGER

Sigrid (Lundbech) Pehrsson singing with her husband, Atle Pehrsson and her two sons, Leroy, (b 24 March, 1915, d. Dec 1982)
and Neptune, always known as Skeets, (b 25 May, 1921, d. May 1979)

Sigrid Lundbech was my father's aunt, who left Denmark at 20 and emigrated to Brooklyn.

It was thanks to Aage Lundbech (met through flikr) that we knew about Sigrid Lundbech (my father's unknown aunt, sister of his Dad). Aage found out that she had emigrated to the United States early in the 1910s. Subsequently, Denise, Sigrid's grandaughter, then connected with me through this photo:
Sigrid

It was amazing to find out that all those years that my family lived in Connecticut, my father had had first cousins, not only living in America but right across Long Island Sound from us.
My thanks to Denise for kindly allowing me to upload and tweak this, and other photos, to my photostream.
