narrative from Terri - 

Albertina, Bucholtz Benske

She came over on the Red Star Line and landed at the Statue of Liberty. They had four children at the time. they came over on the boat, my mother (Elsa) was one of them. My last aunt aunt (Hilde ) was born in the United States. That was my mom's youngest sister.

Date estimate - My mother was born in 1906 and I am guessing the photograph was taken when they were in the United States. My guess is that photograph was taken in 1910 or 1912
