Lingelbach Heritage

Most of the pictures linked to this page were taken by Stefan M. Jonasson during his
2007 visit to Hessen or during earlier visits to family sites in Ontario and North Dakota.
Some of the photographs are by Charles O. Jonasson, from the 2007 Hessen visit,
while the remaining images are from family photograph albums. As such, these
pictures offer a visual perspectives of places associated with the Dipple and Gemmer
families which are obviously deeply personal in that each exposure represents some
person, place or event that is meaningful to me, for one reason or another.

All pictures are Copyright 2005 by Stefan M. Jonasson or Charles O. Jonasson, unless
otherwise indicated. You are free to enjoy these pictures and even save them for
private viewing, if you are so inclined. However, you may not sell them, exhibit
them, modify them, or publish them in any form (printed or electronic) without prior
permission.
