page 28 - Ken Jorgensen


I found out that Ken Jorgensen was an advid photographer. His son Neil shares his love for photography. My Mom, Jacquie Wendt said that some of his photos were even made into postcards! He had a t-shirt that said "Carry A Camera and Catch A Memory" I agree!!! Ken was a 82nd Airborne Paratrooper.

I just found 6 more people and a 1900 census

So I'm doing the journaling and come across an obituary for May Wipfer, she married Joseph Feilen. By inserting her siblings names on the obituary I was able to pull up a 1900 census which gave me their date of births plus one more I didn't have, where they live, what they do, etc. What a find.
