Dawn Bowman created this album of her grandparents Johann August 3.5 and Ernestine Louise Pauline Arnold and their children. Her father Oswald William was the tenth child in the family. The album has many professionally taken photos which was common in those early times before cameras were readily available.

August and Pauline’s Silver (August 1915) and Golden Wedding (August 1940) anniversaries are carefully photographed with the families. More recent coloured photographs are also included and continue the family stories over decades.

Harold and Toni Arnold 3.5.11 siblings & families created by Christine Gates 3.5.11.3.2

The album of Harold and Toni Arnold 3.5.11 siblings and families was created by Christine Gates 3.5.11.3.2 in time for her grandparents Golden Wedding Anniversary on 28 March 1982 in Murray Bridge, South Australia. It is an exceptional photographic record of the Arnold and Rooke Families of Harold and Toni.

The Album includes the family of Johann August Arnold 3.5 & Pauline nee Dutschke who worked the family farm just north of Port Victoria for many years. The family were prominent in the South Kilkerran St John’s Lutheran Church Community.

The extended family of Toni Arnold nee Rooke is also comprehensively recorded with many original photos while others have been copied in sepia to maintain the tone of the album. there are delightful dossiers on all the siblings, some written by the person, others by their children.

Harold was the youngest of eleven children and Toni, the youngest of ten children. This linear generation includes individual, wedding and family photographs of their siblings plus grandparents, great aunts/uncles and great grandparents.

On the Easter Weekend in 1980, Christine’s Mother, Fay Kinsley 3.5.11.3 (nee Arnold) introduced Christine to some of her mother’s aunts and uncles living in the Barossa Valley. This inspired her to capture this linear generation in a comprehensive photographic album, before their stories were lost. She was assisted by her grandmother Toni Arnold and Harold’s maiden sisters Pauline Alma 3.5.6 and Louise Anges 3.5.8 Arnold.
