THE HENKEL FAMILY · A LIVING ARCHIVE
Our roots.
Our stories.
From Hubert and Velma through Garry and Eileen to Robert, Laura, Kimberly, and Konrad — a place for the family to keep its names, pictures, and memories together.
A PLACE FOR ALL OF US
Every name has a story behind it.
This is a home for the Henkel family’s relationships, old photographs, and memories. It begins with the people Bob named and the pictures currently in the archive. New names, dates, stories, and photographs can be added as the family shares them.

Tracing the story back to the 1800s
The goal is to document the family’s history back into the nineteenth century. The photographs supplied so far begin much later, and names, dates, and records for those earlier generations still need to be added.
For now the named family tree begins with Hubert Henkel and Velma Henkel, the parents of Garry Nelson Henkel.
