My mother recently gave me a black & white picture of her mother and sister sitting on their mother's lap. After looking at my great-grandmother in this picture, it would appear that she's of Asian, Phillipino, or Pacific Rim descent. Are any of your JARRIELS (or related spellings) of Asian/Pacific descent? Is it possible that she was Native American Indian? The mother in this picture is named Bessie JARRIELS, and she is buried in the Turkey Branch Cemetery, Springfield County, Georgia. Bessie married Augustus Vonley SEMKEN (b. February 23, 1885, d. October 04, 1964). Augustus is buried in Section R, Bonaventure Cemetery, Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia. Bessie's parents were George SEMKEN and Josephine WYLE. Augustus' parents were George SEMKEN and an unknown PADGETT. The daugthers in this picture are Elizabeth Ann SEMKEN (b. December 25, 1913, d. June 09, 1943) and Lena Gertrude SEMKEN (b. November 01, 1916, d. October 19, 1999). Thanks for your help, Peter Nesbitt [email protected]
