This page features the Nitz/Klabbatz Family.
Hopefully some of their pictures will
be displayed here as well as in a decade.
Decades 1930 and 1940 are good places to start
You may notice some of the pictures preceed 1930.
Maybe Kathleen will be seen here now and then.



The Nitz family. Brother Paul and her father are the only ones missing.
