Family Oestreicher from Theilheim, Bavaria

An album of field post from WWI recently came into my possession. I noticed that around 20 postcards were addressed to the same father Johann Oestreicher from Theilheim, Bavaria between 1915 and 1918. That family had all their 3 sons Georg, Wilhelm and Hubert fighting in that terrible war. I couldn't shake the horrible question … Continue reading Family Oestreicher from Theilheim, Bavaria

When my own ancestors need a break from me, I bug other people's ancestors. Or they bug me, if you believe that. Hoarding old photos of strangers has become a new hobby of mine. So, into my lap fell another lot of old photos. The same person had inscribed many of them. This is where my … Continue reading Families Wunsch & Schmidt from Bohemia: Part 1

My granny Juta's favourite subjects at school were sports and literature. She hated singing and drawing. That held true all her life. She was sporty all her life, and wrote beautiful poetry. She could not draw (even her handwriting was awful) and I never ever heard her sing, she detested all kinds of singing shows or competitions. Here in about 1930 with her classmates in Paide, Estonia. Swipe for closer look, she is the 2nd girl from right in the 2nd photo.

It's #weddingwednesday 👰🏼🤵🏻💗! Let's all take a moment to appreciate this wedding photo of my great-uncle Fricis and his 1st wife Milda. Do zoom in for all the fashion details and facial expressions. Taken in December 1936 in Tukums, Latvia. My grandpa Haralds, the groom's nephew, is the little guy sitting on the very left in the kids row. The bride's dress is a vintage dream! I love the colour scheme Marija @myretrophoto has chosen for the colorisation💗. I can very well imagine this is exactly what it might have looked like on that special day. Also fits for today's prompt "Pink" for #genealogyphotoaday #tietheknotthursday #vintagewedding #weddinggown #weddingday #weddingphoto #oldweddingphoto #vintage #family #ancestors #familyheritage #ancestry #myheritage #reallifetimetravels #timetravel #womanthroughacentury #oldphoto #familyphoto #familyphotoalbum #genealogy #vintagestyle #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #familyhistory #генеалогия #1930s #womanthroughacentury_wedding #vintagebride #1930sfashion
Thinking a lot of my granny Leonora today as some handwritten documents came to my attention and I recognised her handwriting and how familiar it felt. She's been gone for 20 years, but I'll forever be her little baby girl. Here on the right with my toddler-mum and sister-in-law in the streets of Kopli, a district in Tallinn, Estonia in 1956/57.

1975 and my mum is a happy graduate of Tartu University, the oldest university in Estonia. Wearing a self-sewn bright forest green dress, she is beaming with pride. Happy and proud to have shared the same alma mater with her!
