This is a picture of my grandfather, August Zemidat. He was born in 1875 and was a peddler for many years. This picture was taken in Brooklyn, New York in 1900
For years Ronald was looking for others with his family name Zemidat but was having little luck. He shared on AncientFaces in 2001 this 1900s photo of his grandfather August Zemidat in New York.
Thanks to Ronald sharing 21 years ago, others searching for the Zemidat family, like Dorothy and Elaine, have connected and made family discoveries together.
The act of sharing a photo like this today can result in making meaningful connections for decades to follow.
I am trying to reach you regarding the Zemidat family. I can't get through on your email account. Please email me at [contact link]. I think we may be related. Thanks Dorothy
