The Letters of Yvonne Andris

Over the years I have been in communication with the grandchildren of Arthur Emilienne Mauriocourt Andris. A few years ago, Michael Andris sent me part of a series of yearly letters written to his grandparents by Yvonne Andris, his grand aunt. I have written quite a bit about Yvonne already, based on stories told me by my brother, Tom, and a few family pictures passed on to me by Karen Ruhloff, Michael's sister. Now Karen is sending me more pictures. It turns out that a couple of the pictures were IN ONE OF THE LETTERS from Yvonne. Now we can put them back together, and in the process, get a marvelous snapshot of the life of this relative.

I am providing links to these letters below.
