This is your great, great uncle, whose father would be your great great, great grandfather. The Keller Family Mother Keller Part 1 of 3 youtu.be/S2OaR33txoo Part 2 of 3 youtu.be/0AYQbuPjbdE Part 3 of 3 youtu.be/Fw0gmszKEAg For a family reunion in 1993, Alvin Keller was asked to detail his family history on a cassette tape for he was the only surviving member. Alvin was the brother of my great grandmother Emma Keller, to my grandmother Evelyn Callahan. There were no cameras or video to document family life in the 1800s. There were photo studios at that time to where Alvin would sit for a family portrait. There were only photos made. Evelyn Georgine (Reinhart) Callahan (1917-2004), her mother, Emma Keller (1893-1973). Emmas brother Alvin (1909-2007) was the youngest of a family of 10 who grew up in Pittsburgh Pa at the turn of the century 1900s. Alvin Keller was the only family member to graduate from high school, then the only family member to attend college. Most families in the early 1900s only attended grade school that was consider a success, especially for a large family. Everyone in the family supported the core family both financially and physically. Both Alvins father and mother immigrated from Germany in the late 1800s. This is a story of how Americans lived in the late 1800s; a lost history. Father: Philip Anton Keller 1856-1935, Mother: Katharina Louise (Koppel) Keller 1866-1942
