On time this week for Sepia Saturday! Here we have two babies and the one on the left is chewing on a rattle. The back is labelled, “Betsy en Jacob,” or Betsy and Jacob, two children of Willemina Dijkema and Derk Rop. Willemina was a sister of my husband’s paternal grandmother and stayed in Holland with her children and husband. I’m not quite sure who is who of the two adult women, nor who is who among the children, but I know at least that the children are Betsy and Jacob. Based on their birth/death dates, this was likely taken in the early 1940s in Holland, probably somewhere around Groningen. Short and sweet this week, looking forward to the big 300!
