Who Are They?

After seeing this photo

of my stairwell,

ever wonder,

"Who Are They?"

to all the pictures on the walls?

Germany to America

In celebration of my ancestors, I designed my mantel to show the journey from Germany to America!

In 1910, my Great, Great Grandparents and their 5 children left Mosbach, Germany and sailed on the S.S. Lapland heading to Ellis Island in America.

My History

My beloved Maternal Grandmother passed away a year ago at the ripe old age of 93. My mother was her only child. Mom just mailed Grandma's pictures that she divided up between us, her 5 daughters, and here are some really old and interesting pictures that I received.

My Grandpa (Alfred Joseph Heimerman) and Grandma (Dorothy Rose Nigg) 1936 wedding picture. Grandma was standing on a brick to make her taller than her 5'1" height. She also had make-up on to hide her black eye that her brothers accidentally gave her playing ball. Grandma was 18 and Grandpa was 26.

The best man is Seb Heimerman, Grandpa's older brother and my God Father.
