Pedersen Sisters' First American Day

In 1957, Jeanne Pedersen and family moved to San Francisco, CA from Copenhagen, Denmark. This is a photo of her sister, Jette, and her ( she's the little one, with the pigtails) in S.F.'s, Union Square, the day after we arrived.

"Memorial Day has an extra special meaning to me and my family. We are so fortunate to live in this wonderful country!!!!!!"

Date & Place: circa May 31, 1957 at Union Square in San Francisco, California USA

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
