It was an automobile I had not heard about until I saw this old family photo. This is a snapshot of a 1917 Dort owned by my great-grandparents, Lorenz and Louisa Rademacher, who lived in rural Isabella County, Michigan. 1
Here are photographs of the Rademacher family contributed recently by cousin Heather J. You can learn more about these individuals by exploring the Lorenz and Louisa Rademacher family group sheet. (Click on a thumbnail below for a larger view.)
One of the advantages of having your own family history website is cousin-bait. That’s when a distant cousin searches the Internet for their ancestors and finds their family names at your website. This often results in new information and leads for both parties.
I’m excited to say it’s happened again. This time I’ve heard from cousin Heather J. on my paternal grandmother Rademacher’s side of the family. Heather generously shared several old photographs she inherited from her grandmother, Evelyn Earl.
