Simon Weiner and Frantiska Weinerova

These are my father's parents, Simoon Weiner and Frantiska Weinerova (née Ledererova). The photo was taken in Ceske Budejovice in the 1900s. My grandfather on my father's side, Simon Weiner, son of Moses and Ludmila Weiner, died before I was born, so I don?t remember him. Grandma Frantiska Weiner, daughter of Simon and Terezie Lederer, died even earlier than Grandpa Simon. After Grandma died, Grandpa married her sister. My grandfather's second wife lived in Prague on Stepanska Street; I remember that when it was her birthday, I used to always go to recite poems to her, and she?d also occasionally give me a five-crown piece.
