A Visit to Augsburg


Augsburg, Germany, 1947. Here's another snapshot from my Dad's trip to the Augsburg Displaced Persons camp, where he visited his toddler Goddaughter. Dad's friend Casey stands on the far right.

Hi Irene ~ I was born in Augsburg, Germany as was my mom and many other ancestors. I have been doing my family history now for about 5 years and attempting to get closer to my ancestors and their stories.

I love your blog and how your tell your mom and dad's life story. Mom and I were working on her side of the family when she suddenly passed away in 2010 . . . I have since had a difficult time. Augsburg is such a beautiful city! I was happy to run across someone who had a little bit of history there!

Thank you for sharing so much of yours.

Hi Gini, Thanks for stopping by. I am delighted that you found the blog enjoyable. That makes my day. I don't have many photos from Augsburg because my Parents only visited--but did not live--there.

I also am sorry for your loss. I am very close to my Mom, so I can imagine how rough it was for you when your Mom passed away.
