Pretty sure these are members of the Althoff family. Google Adolph Althhoff for more info on this well known family in Europe.
Could this be the Franz
who came to Ringling to
assume the horse & tiger
act his father trained
He was Carola's nephew
Or it might have been
Adolph & Carola's brother
On 2nd glance likely
to be the older one
Adolph was also Jacki Althoffs given name. Have not heard from him or his wife Elke for many years now.. last I knew they were in China with a tent biz.
Was Jackie younger Franz's brother
The name Adolph was the center line
of about 5 generations of Althoffs
It was Franz's father Adolph that
brought the Tiger & Horse to RBBB
Where did Jackie's bears come from
This is Adolph's and Carola's older brother Franz Althoff. The movie Circus World was filmed in his circus. He is pictures with his sisters. Jean (Jeanette) on the left is Henry Schroer's mother
