The Janis Family

[debstar76]

Hi djohnese, Yes this is a picture of Joseph Antoine Janis, the older brother of Nicholas who settled in Colorado and then moved with his family to the Pine Ridge reservation. I have a picture of "Old Nick" Nicholas Janis in my files that was given to me when we visited Fort Laramie, Wyoming in 2007. I will find it and post it here.

Regarding Joseph Antoine Janis, I've heard the stories about him and Mary First Elk Woman, however, upon looking at census records, I see a Jennie that Antoine Janis was married to and the children match Joseph Antoine's as well. So, I take it that Jennie was also the wife of Antoine Janis?

And does anyone know who this Antoine Janis is? It appears he is also Joseph Antoine Janis, married to a Louise Janis. I traced this through is son Antoine Janis Jr.
