I earlier posted a Luckert family tree and have since discovered two Koftan drawings and one for the Peters. They are necessarily done in sections, the branches and stumps sprawling across big pieces of butcher paper or, in the first case here, a large piece of Grandma Fern Koftan's wallpaper, a dusty rose pink with an intricate rose pattern, and I'm not sure but what she penned it with the h. for husband and w. for wife and many unmarried who are now grandparents. Reconstruction simply means printing out the pieces and taping them together.
Some of the stump names may be found in the Tyndall cemetery photos, such as Vincent and Nora. The stumps are brothers and sisters of Great Grandfather Joseph Koftan.
Likewise, the stumps at the right are the sisters of Great Grandmother Frances Hlinovsky Koftan.
From the writing, these two would seem to be Velma's.
The Peters tree follows.
