Today I presented at #WEMTA about the TPS-Midwest grant that I did in my local area. Presenting in WI: 10 people in the audience knew a Laufenberg. I was able to include pictures from the WI Hist. Soc. of a 4 generations photo of my Gram & a studio photo of my 3x Great Grandpa titled 'Men with Beer'
