Welcome to my photograph album.  As you can see, it's still under construction, but I'd like to tell you about some of the photographs that will soon be on display here.   I've been an amateur photographer for years and still use my trusty old manual Olympus One.   Many of my photographs have to do with my research interests.   Check below.

Iowa!  Is it really heaven?    Take a look at St. Donatus, Iowa, site of a Luxembourger settlement dating back to the mid-1840s.  Some of my Nemmers ancestors once lived here.  Then take a look at Luxemburg, IA, where some of my Bunkers and Simmerl ancestors once lived.

Minnesota!  Take a look at the restoration efforts on the Marnach House, a fine example of Luxembourger architecture just outside Elba, MN.   Also stop in at Luxemburg, MN, another 19th century Luxembourger settlement.

Wisconsin!  Dairy capital of the United States, home of those incredibly prescient Holsteins.  Also, the home of the University of Wisconsin, one of my alma maters.  (Photos still to come)

Luxembourg! city sights, castles, forests, rolling hills... Who could ask for more? 

New York City!  The United Nations--site of a sculpture donated by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg to foster world peace.
