Oldest family picture

This is probably the oldest family picture we have. Most likely it was taken around 1914 on the porch of the old family house in Surabaya, Dutch-Indies. When we went back to Indonesia we visited one of the old houses in Surabaya where the family used to live, it may have been this house. Sitting in the back is Theodorus Gruwel, the Opa of Vincent's Oma, like so:

Theodorus Gruwel
+-- Maria Pangkei-Gruwel
+---- Hedwig Roumimper-Pangkei
+------ Jacques Roumimper
+-------- Vincent Roumimper

From left to right you see Oma Brintih, tante Trees (oom Nelis' mother), Opa Theodoor (Vincent's great great grandfather) with on his lap Oom Wim (Joyce' father and Dewi's Opa), Maria aka Mien (Vincent's great grand mother) and tante Dien.
