Peter, James and John ... they may be more well known from the bible, but they were also brothers of one of our ancestors (Archibald, great-grandfather to Dad/LaMar).
The trio would have been brothers to Lucille's grandfather. So Lucille's "grand-uncles".
It's her handwriting, and her album where we found the photo.
Here's a couple snags from Family Search ... tracing back the relationship.
For the Westra Six Siblings - the men would be "2nd Great-GrandUncles"
"2nd Great" is the same thing as "Great-Great" ... two "Greats"
Boy, the word "Great" looks weird when I see it so often!
For the grandkid generation - they would be "3rd Great-GrandUncles"
And LaMar's Great-Grand Uncles.
Interesting that Peter's middle name is ... Peters.
John's middle name is MacFarlane ... which is also Archibald's middle name.
McFarlane was their mother's maiden name.
10 siblings. Archibald was third, the first son.
Peter, John and James were 7th, 8th and 9th.
About 10 years between Archibald and Peter.
And just 2-3 years between the births of the three biblical boys.
