I continue here working away at adding W(h)ittbrodt's to the Wittbrodt-Wazney Family Tree. I've mainly been focusing on WikiTree for accuracy since people can access it for free. I also have a subscription right now to MyHeritage and NOT with Ancestry, so I will check to see if I can access your material there because of the need for a paid subscription which I let lapse, for now
I checked just now for the additional photos for the children of Albert Anton Whitbrodt as well as obituaries and wedding announcements taken from various Newspapers (mostly Bay City and Grand Rapids - AND because I let my membership lapse, I cannot access any of the photos or updates. Can you try adding me as a guest member to one of your family trees?
I have just added you to Albert's wife Frances WikiTree profile as a co-manager. I have been leaning toward using whatever name is listed on a tombstone, if there is one. As a co-manager, please feel free to set the record straight.
Feel free to correct names to siblings, since I've been mostly ignoring those except for what I have listed on WikiTree. I agree with using obituaries and death certificates as well. I cannot see those on Ancestry because of the paywall.
I will add this note to WikiTree: Valentine, died in 1930 in Frances's home. His obituary mentions 1 son Jacob, and 4 daughters Anna Tarkowski, Mary Reder, Frances Whitbrodt, and Katherine Carter. Can you share obituaries for these folks on WikiTree so more people can see them without a paywall? I will add you as co-profile manager to any of the profiles that exist there, so you should be receiving some news about that. I can show you how to add photos and documents there if you haven't done it before. It is similar to Ancestry except WikiTree needs some copyright permission. I tend to use language like this:
Personal family photo (Of public family record) of the Whitbrodt family, in the possession of Deborah Nystrom, Ann Arbor, Michigan, All Rights Reserved by original poster, as well as reference to Fair Use laws, used for genealogy purposes only, Jan 2022
Noting that Ed Whitbrodt married Clara Zielinski in 1960 and that she was the widow of Frank Reder who was the son of Mary Slazinski Reder who was the sister of Frances, Ed's mother.
Happy mutual sleuthing,
