Aeppli Cousin

I got to meet my second cousin, once, removed, David Bollag and his wife Cynthia, 

while they were visiting the west coast of the US.

My great grandparents, Heinrich "Henry" Aeppli and his wife, Jeanette Pluss, with their children.

Willi Aeppli is sitting and Ernst and Fritz (where were twins) are standing, along with Harri.

(Is Harri his wife Maria Wild? or someone else)
