Notes:
- The titles “Uncle”, “Great Aunt”, etc. are from Abe Caplan’s perspective.
- In the back row on the left: Great Aunt Tzepa (Mema Sepa) Kleban & Great Uncle Sorel (Srul) Kleban are wife and husband. It may look like Tzepa is in the row in front, but she (very short) is standing next to her (very tall) husband
- In the back row on the right: Great Aunt Rose Cleban & Morris Cleban are wife and husband
- In the 3rd row: Uncle Joseph Gerber & Rose Gerber are husband and wife

In August 2011, Rose (Caplan) Engel recalled from this picture, “My beloved Mother made the dress I was wearing and embroidered the Russian style shirt my brother [Jerry] was wearing.”
Thank you, Rose.
