Hi there!👋🏻

We are a family from Prague but that’s pretty much all we can remember🥺

We must have been quite well off to have such a majestic portrait of our Grandpa painted🫶🏼 We do wonder where the portrait has ended up - maybe you’ve come across it?🔍

Good morning!👋🏻

My name is Jan (John) Geringer and as it seems I’m actually not as lost as I thought🔍🫶🏼

My photograph popped up at a flea market in Prague but my dear friends in Illinois, USA did their homework already and created a whole page on the internet about me and my life❤️🥹

Instead of copying my CV here - you can read it on csagsi.org under John Geringer and I promise you it’s a good one🫵🏻🔍🫡

This photo is on the way to The Czech & Slovak American Genealogy Society of Illinois📨

Good morning!👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️

My name is Jaroslav Vojtech Sasma and this is my beautiful wife Emilie (maiden name Matiasova)❤️

I was born on the 23rd April 1883 in Ovcary. We got married in 1910🙏🏻 Unfortunately that’s all I know and I cannot figure out whether we had any children or not. What do you think? Perhaps you’re one of our great grandchildren👧🏻

Hi there👋🏻

This is me, Danny Barta, and our neighbour’s cat. I adored her so much (the cat, not Mrs Hrbaskova, she was kinda cranky👵🏻) and used to share my pie with her sometimes🥧

This is a card my Dad Karel wrote to my Grandad Frantisek in July 1929. He just wanted my Grandad to know that he shouldn’t be sending over any more fruit because I wasn’t too keen on it. Apparently I had a sweet tooth but not like apple-sweet, more like whipped cream on some chocolate ice cream sweet🍭🍬🍨

I don’t know where I was originally from but Grandpa was from Prague. Perhaps you know our family?🙏🏻

Good morning!👋🏻

We are three beautiful queens from Prague👑👑👑 Maybe we took this photo for our papa who might have been stationed somewhere far far away?🪖

We can’t tell for sure but we were so beautiful - perhaps you recognise your great grandma in one of my daughters or even me?👵🏻

Good morning!👋🏻

We are two little princesses from Prague. We had our photo taken in Zizkov, the part of our city people used to call the Prague Montmartre for it was very Bohemian and wild at the end of the century🥖🍷

We don’t know much about ourselves but perhaps you recognise your favourite great grandma in one of us👧🏻👧🏻🤍

Good evening👋🏻👋🏻

Do you think we might have been your ancestors?🔍

Hi there👋🏻

My name is Helga and I might have been from Plauen in Germany. In the 1940’s I married a gorgeous man called Gerhard🫶🏼

My story got lost in time but the beautiful Grete from found a bunch of my photos and shared them online. Isn’t that just lovely? When I thought my life was to be completely forgotten someone who’s never met me decided to share my face and pieces of my story with the world again❤️

💌 Thank you Grete for sharing this photo of Helga with me, she’s my favourite and the dress is just😍

Good morning👋🏻

We are a family from Prague. We can’t remember our names, where exactly our home was, how we earned our living or what our last words were. But perhaps you could recall them for us?🔍

Good evening from the two of us👋🏻👵🏻🐱

🐾Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been?
I've been to London to visit the Queen.
Pussycat, pussycat, what did you there?
I frightened a little mouse under her chair.🐾

I used to sing this to my most beloved kitty in the world every day when we used to sit in the garden and exchange treats for belly rubs🍪🐈‍⬛

Do you know the house this gorgeous garden belongs to? Perhaps our family still lives there, great great great grand kittens included!🔍

Good morning👋🏻

We are three best friends from Klatovy, Bohemia👦🏻🐶👦🏻

We used to hang out together every single day - it was all games and walks, playing fetch and reading stories about doggos out loud before bed. Wouldn’t you love to know who we grew up to be?🔍

In 1900 there were about 17,000 people living in our town. As it is situated on the border with Germany, a lot of terrible things happened there during the WWII. They took our land as well as executed 73 patriots in a forest not far from our town. We shall never forget and we truly hope we were not amongst them💔

Perhaps you recognise our faces in yours?👀

Good morning!👋🏻

Rather unfortunately I cannot recall my name or my family matters but I’m pretty sure this forever of myself was taken in early spring in Dresden by certain Richard Jähnig📷

Mr Jähnig was a renowned photographer in the area and he created these special spring themed masks that everyone adored!🌸🌼🌸🌼

Would you have your taken your photograph set in all these flowers too?

Good morning!⛷

Remember that time we went skying to the mountains and we ALMOST crossed the border to Polska rzeczpospolita ludowa?🇵🇱

Poland was called Polska rzeczpospolita ludowa between 1947-1989. I cannot recall the exact day but I believe we went skying to the mountains, most likely Krkonose and when we climbed up the hill we came across this sign🏔

And you know what? I could actually be your grandma and be still alive today! Can you recognise my face?🔍

Good morning!❄️

What a snow fall that was!☃️ A terribly tempestuous weather that afternoon, I only barely managed to the studio to have my picture taken, which in hindsight was a terrible idea on that particular day. But I insisted!💁🏻‍♀️

And here we are, some 140 years later, admiring my visage sprinkled with tiny flecks of white beauty. Can you recognise my lovely face, wandering Londoners?🔍

Good morning!!❄️

We sent this forever likeness of us, our beautiful carriage and winter of 1912 to our dear friend Frantisek Vrzal from Velke Mezirici. Frantisek was a barrister and we owe him many a good advice🙏🏻

Can you remember our names or perhaps what our little chap grew up to be?👶🏻🔍

Hi there!❄️

We lived in the mountains and when the first snow settled and it was cold enough for it to stay, we took out our warmest hats and mittens, grabbed the sledges and had the best fun🏔⛷🏂

What a shame you couldn’t join us! But perhaps our memories were kept in your old family album! Can you find us in it?🔍

Hi there!❄️

Is it snowy over there where you are?☃️ I looooooved snow so much, every single day in the winter months I’d wake up super early and run to the window to check whether it’d snowed - and it did!🤍

I wish I could find my great grandchildren and share this photograph of one of my happiest memories with them🔍🙏🏻

Good evening❄️

It was the 18th January 1932. My name was Antonin Vacek and I was the head of the State Pension Office👨🏻‍🦳

I wish there was more to tell you, so you could perhaps think back to your own family and find my own little place in your family tree, but I have simply forgotten everything. The paper didn’t write about me, the world as it seems has also forgotten everything there was to my life🕯🔍
