The original photo is very faded and tiny, but the image is so special. Children wearing wooden clogs. Not just a Dutch tradition, in many parts of Germany, especially close to the Dutch border, wooden clogs were popular up until the end of the 1950s.

5 children and a mother from Satrup in the very North of Germany. I wonder if the mother is in mourning? And if the cushion on the floor is supporting her leg?

Eliese Karl née Wudy (?) from Salzburg, Austria. Can't tell you anything else cause nothing came up on her. Photo found together with the Alsleben photos from Germany #photoswithoutfamilies #photoswithoutfamilies_elderly #photoswithoutfamilies_cdv #oldphoto #foundphoto #lostmemories #snapshot #lostphoto #familyphotos #antiquephoto #oldphotos #oldphotograph #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #reunitelostphotos #vintagephoto #vintagesnapshot #ahnenforschung #altefotos #староефото #familiengeschichte

The same "Aunt Martha" from my last post. Born May 29th, 1880. Passed away November 21st, 1930. I wish I had her surname... Photo found in Germany together with the last post and all the Alsleben photos. #photoswithoutfamilies #photoswithoutfamilies_ladies #photoswithoutfamilies_cdv #oldphoto #foundphoto #lostmemories #snapshot #lostphoto #familyphotos #antiquephoto #oldphotos #oldphotograph #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #reunitelostphotos #vintagephoto #vintagesnapshot #ahnenforschung #altefotos #староефото #familiengeschichte

"Aunt Martha" dressed up pretty bold for the era, you can't just see her ankles which would have been a scandal on its own, but you can see her legs too! I wonder what the occasion was.

"The last one on the bottom right is father" Another classroom photo from Hamburg, Germany. I can't be sure if this photo is connected with the last two I shared today. The handwriting is the same on all and I got them all together. Large cabinet photo found in Hamburg, Germany, unidentified #photoswithoutfamilies #photoswithoutfamilies_children #photoswithoutfamilies_groups #photoswithoutfamilies_cdv #oldphoto #foundphoto #lostmemories #snapshot #lostphoto #familyphotos #antiquephoto #oldphotos #oldphotograph #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #reunitelostphotos #vintagephoto #vintagesnapshot #ahnenforschung #altefotos #староефото #familiengeschichte #hamburg

Classmates of the school in Avershoffstrasse in Hamburg, Germany, in 1921. The school was bombed in 1943 and never re-built. The owner of the photo Magda Wulf, marked with X, somehow ties into my last post of Granny Wulf. Besides the X, she is also marked with number 2 but I can't understand if it's followed by her second first name or her maiden name. Photo found in the same rummage shop in Hamburg, Germany #photoswithoutfamilies #photoswithoutfamilies_children #photoswithoutfamilies_cdv #photoswithoutfamilies_groups #oldphoto #foundphoto #lostmemories #snapshot #lostphoto #familyphotos #antiquephoto #oldphotos #oldphotograph #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #reunitelostphotos #vintagephoto #vintagesnapshot #ahnenforschung #altefotos #староефото #familiengeschichte #hamburg #avershoffstrasse #magdawulf

BLOGGED (and half-returned🙃) I found this large cabinet photo in my local rummage shop. As usual, I did a quick search on the genealogy platforms available to me and found out to my pleasant surprise that someone had already done quite a good job researching her. Please meet Mrs. Marie Dorette Wulf née Heering! She was born on October 18th, 1866, in Böckelse close to Celle in Germany. She lost her mother Christine Dorothea Heering when she was a newborn baby. Christine passed away at the age of just 23 shortly after Marie was born. Life brought Marie to Altona in Hamburg where she worked as a servant. She married a carpenter named Johann August Emil Wulf on April 2nd, 1889. They had been married for 25 years when Marie's husband Emil passed away in December 1914. I think this photo was taken shortly after that. Marie herself passed away 25 years later in 1930. They had 5 children. I contacted the administrator of Marie's profile on Ancestry and he gladly accepted the scans of the photo from me. I wish I could have also handed over the originals but the person replied that he was not a close relative. #photoswithoutfamilies #photoswithoutfamilies_elderly #photoswithoutfamilies_ladies_cdv #oldphoto #foundphoto #lostmemories #snapshot #lostphoto #familyphotos #antiquephoto #oldphotos #oldphotograph #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #reunitelostphotos #vintagephoto #vintagesnapshot #ahnenforschung #altefotos #староефото #familiengeschichte

Let's do #knitting Thursday! My own granny loved knitting. She could knit while watching TV at the same time, hardly ever looking at her knitting😄 This photo was found in Germany, unidentified #photoswithoutfamilies #photoswithoutfamilies_elderly #oldphoto #foundphoto #lostmemories #snapshot #lostphoto #familyphotos #antiquephoto #oldphotos #oldphotograph #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #reunitelostphotos #vintagephoto #vintagesnapshot #ahnenforschung #altefotos #староефото #familiengeschichte #vintageknitting #knit
