Here are six old family photos that were recently sent by Lenny
Wasserman, including a very early photo of Abraham Tessler that most of you
probably have not seen. Why don't you take a minute, drag out that shoebox
from the back of the closet, and send me some more photos?! I will scan
them and get them right back to you.
(Can you recognize these original members
of the Tessler
Family Circle? Hold your mouse
over anyone's picture to learn his/her
name!
Thanks to Arthur and Norma for identifying faces for me!)
Welcome to the cyberspace home of the Tessler Family Circle. We hope
that all members of the Circle will find this to be a useful and
convenient tool to stay in touch between meetings and to learn more about
the history of the family.
The Tessler Family Circle was founded in 1943
by the nine children (8 daughters and 1 son) of Abraham and Toiba Tessler. (Actually, one of the daughters was still in
Russia at this time and didn't arrive in America until 1959 - but who's quibbling?)
Although they were a close-knit family, they had also endured much hardship and
separation. The siblings were
concerned that as they married and moved away with their new families, the
Tessler family would lose touch with their roots and with one another. They needn't have
worried. Although all nine siblings and their spouses have passed away, the Tessler Family Circle keeps growing and growing.

family. (NOTE: So far, most of these pages are still "under
construction." If you can email us your entries for the Golden Book,
they will be posted so we can all enjoy them...you can mail photos, too - they
will be returned!)
