Happy Anniversary, to Great Aunt Ginny & Uncle John Probst ~

Today, the 25th day of March in 1925, my paternal great aunt, Virginia 'Ginny' Lee Ijames, becomes the wife of John A. Probst, in Clark's County, Indiana.

According to the 1930 "Crews of Vessels" Fifteenth Census of the United States, in the city of Pittsburgh, PA...both great-aunt Ginny and uncle John were part of the crew of a sea vessel (five different vessel names listed on census)...great-aunt Ginny was a cook, and uncle John, a seaman. At least they were able to be together, as they had only been married for five years at the time of this census.

~ Happy Anniversary great-aunt Ginny and uncle John ~

With love from your niece, the keeper of our family memories.

Happy Birthday great aunt Ginny 1895 ~ 1966 ~

Virginia Lee "Ginny" (Ijames) Probst

1895 ~ 1966

Today, my great aunt Ginny would have been 116 years old! I sure wish 

I could have met her...Happy Birthday aunt Ginny!

The  information I have on my great aunt Ginny is very little. I found a 1930 "Crews of Vessels" census report for Pittsburgh, PA, ruminated on April 7, 11, and the 14th, in 1930, where aunt Ginny was a cook for the ship (ship names are hard to read) and her husband John A. Probst (1897 ~ 1967) who was a seaman on the same ship. They had tied the knot on March 25th, 1925

The hunt continues...
