All in the family!
This photo is of Anna Katherina T. she is Dad’s grandmother and shares Harald’s surname!Now some genealogy. On Dad's side:
Anna’s father > Peter Martin > Johnnes Martin > Wilhelm > Johannes > Wilhelm who married Sybille
Now on Harald’s side:
His grandfather was Johann Richard.
Johann’s father > Johann Wilhelm > Johann Heinrich > Johann > Martin > Wilhelm who married Sybille
So…in plain English…Dad’s great-great-great-great-great grandfather and
Harald’s great-great-great-great-great grandfather are one and the same Wilhelm who married Sybille.

Anna Katharina Terhaag was born in 1850 and died 1916 aged 66. So that was before Dad was born and hence he would not have known her. The picture in Mum's living room of the youngest and oldest is of Dad and his grandfather, the husband of Anna Katharina.
Her husband, I just noticed, died on 25th September, 1937 when Dad was 7 years old. A bit weird that there have now been 3 of us born on the anniversary of his death!
