Anna and Franz Sommer

This photo is of Anna and Franz Sommer parents of Katharina Arnusch and Regina Sommer Los.   Katharina was born in Setschan, Yugoslavia on 23 March, 1915.  Regina was born in Klek Yugoslavia on 13 September, 1917. 

It appears that Anna may have been pregnant at the time this photo was taken, possibly shortly before Franz left for the war.  He served in the Austrian Hungary Army in Italy.  We know that he died in Italy but do not know the location or exact date.  Katharina believed that he died in 1917.

Sommer and Muhr Family

Within our family we seem to have the fewest details and photographs from the Sommer and Muhr branch of the family.  Anna Muhr Sommer and Franz Sommer were the parents of Katharina Sommer Arnusch.

We are lucky to have any photographs this old.   Between the wars and family members forced to flee the country to save their lives most possessions were lost. 

Franz Sommer was born in 13 March 1885 in Setschen, Yugoslavia.  He was the son of Franz Sommer and Anna Fendt Sommer.


Anna Muhr Sommer was born 23 August 1891 also in Setschen, Yugoslavia.  She was the daughter of Michael Muhr and Margaretha Lech Muhr.
