A photo from Neu-Rohrbach

Thanks to Natalya Schochenmaier, we've got a new photo from Neu-Rohrbach. I have not mentioned this place-name. Actually, as I understood, the Schochenmaiers which had stayed in the Russian Empire, after Michael and Jacob Schochenmaier had left for the New World, co-founded a farmstead from Rohrbach in a couple of miles from it under the name of Neu-Rohrbach in the beginning of 1880s.

Here is the photo taken in that Neu-Rohrbach:


In the second row to the left is Heinrich Schochenmaier (1905-1975,son of Christian Sch. (1866), nephew of Michael (1859) and Jacob (1861) Schochenmaiers), while in the first row to the right is his future wife - Lilly Weikum (1909-1961). They are nor married yet. It's between 1924 and 1928. Others have not been recognized. 

Heinrich Schochenmaier is also a cousin for Paul Schochenmaier (1897-1973), who is the grandpa of Janet Schochenmaier in Canada)))

I suggest that next to Christian is staying another Schochenmaier as they look pretty similar, especially in the eyes. Do you agree? Theoretically, it could be his older brother - Christian Schochenmaier (1897-1938).
