Sebastian gets married

Sebastian Janson was just 10 years old on the voyage to America with his parents and sibs in 1883.  The heavy work of clearing land and helping out on the farm in Buckman would have fallen to him and Wendelin, since Sophie would have helped in the house, and Eugen and Anton were 5 and 3 when they arrived.
Comparing his physical build here to his parents', it looks like he inherited Fuchs genes more than Janson, so he wasn't willowy and thin like his dad, but more sturdy, like his mom.


According to his WWI draft card (when he was 45) he was of medium height and medium build, with blue eyes and dark brown hair.


I hope Mary Roos at least liked those blue eyes, since he did not become the world's kindest man. They raised nine children together on a farm in New Munich, Stearns County, Minnesota.  

Now finally, with photos of Sebastian, we have individual pictures of all four boys in that family to add to the pictures of the four girls.  (Yes, there's one more pic of Sebastian with his family, but waiting for that will add suspense to the blog, right?)

Here they all are, together.  Who do YOU resemble?

THANKS again,  TOM!
