My great-x-2 grandmother, Anna Aldige Hindermann. This was taken in 1888 because she and Franz Hindermann were married May 16, 1888. It was taken at a photographer's studio near the Old French Opera House in New Orleans. I am not at home with the pic and I forgot to scan the back, so I don't have the exact address. She has a connection with photography, actually. She was first cousin to Ernest Bellocq. She lived to be 89 and was younger than Franz, so she outlived him by more than 30 years. The story is she would walk to the grave and talk to him. Also, I am told she said she had better conversations with him after his death than when he was alive. She also lost her mother, a sister, and a niece in a shipwreck and had to deal with her oldest daughter, my great-grandmother, eloping. View full size.
