Gift from Germany
My friend, Andrea, recently visited Germany. She described her adventures here: http://alynnmusic.blogspot.com/
Andrea knew of my German connections and my dollhouse collection, so when she saw this little table with a lamp, she thought of me. I was so surprised to receive this gift in the mail! Can you see the book, letter, and eye glasses on the table?
My great-great-grandfather was born in Germany and was raised in an orphanage by nuns.
My great-great-grandmother was from Switzerland. She was a wonderful cook, especially of German food. She could also yodel very well.
They met at Ellis Island.
My great-great-grandfather mysteriously disappeared in New York City nearing the end of World War II. We suspect something happened to him because he was German. His daughter, my great-grandmother (born in 1895), searched for him for years.
