Welcome back to Tombstone Tuesday! After a break for a couple of weeks we’re back to visiting the Altman family in Anselm Lutheran Cemetery. Today we’re looking at my great grand-aunt, Augusta Christine (Altman) Froemke.

Hi Dannell,
Technically we're not related… Myrtle Nohr's husband Fred Krentz was my great-uncle… but we're Anselm Cemetery cousins. I've sent you the link to my blog, where you'll find some tasty morsels of Altman & Nohr & Froemke family history. Welcome to the blogosphere!
Ooooo, cousin bait! How exciting. I'll be sure to go look at the goodies you've sent me. Thanks for stopping by!
