Gustave C. Schippilng Family Photographs
Michael Schippling (grandson) schip@etantdonnes.com
Some photographs of my paternal forebears I've dug out of the archives.
All of the Schippling clan from my grandfather Gustave's generation down
were born in Ontario, Canada, with me being the exception.
My great-grandparents on grandfather's side emigrated from Germany
or Poland (depending on the political whim of the day)
to Canada in the late 1800's, and on grandmother's side had been
in Canada (also from Germany) for more than a generation.
(Names are listed left to right.)
