Ok...a quick review--Mike Sand & Louisa Rausch had ten kids. The oldest was Joseph, born in 1878. Our grandma, Elizabeth, was born in 1888, the fifth kid was Angelica, born in 1884, and the second-last kid, Magdalena, was born in 1894. Wanna know why I'm mentioning those four? Ha! Read on ☺
This small pic is Joe at about 22 years old (about 1900). He was still living at home then, but by 1911, he was married with two kids, and living in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He and Antonia Poser had four kids in all (Mary, Michael, Erwin and Agnes). They made their home in Saskatchewan.
Their daughter Mary married Peter Lewans, and they had 12 kids, one of whom, Sylvester, became a priest.

Angelica Sand, Angie, married Joe Hiemenz in 1907, and their son Eddie was a good buddy to dad. Eddie sent me these pics this week--this was on the occasion of a trip to Minnesota by Mary and Peter Lewans, and their son Sylvester in 1963.
See? Here's a dinner at Eddie & Marcy's with Fr. Lewans on the left, then dad, Eddie, Mom, Marcy and, I assume, Peter and Mary facing away.
Now this pic is why I mentioned Lena up there...pictured left to right is Peter Lewans, Frank Sand, Lena (Sand) Block, Mary (Sand) Lewans, and Fr. Sylvester Lewans. (Frank and Lena were the two youngest of Michael and Louisa Sand's brood. Fr Lewans, then, was their great nephew).
(Wow, Mary looked like her mother...and married a man who looked like her father!)
THANKS for the corrections, Carolyn ☺!
