Brothers Karl and Otto Erma knew a few pranks, I'm sure. The two of them had quite the jolly evening in 1921, when Karl was visiting his younger brother Otto in Tartu, a town of students. As the evening drew to an end, Karl, as a gentleman, wanted to make sure the lovely young lady he had met on their pub crawl got on the late night train safe and sound. Otto offered his brother some moral support, while Karl and the lady said their goodbyes on the departure platform. A ticket inspector approached the group and asked to see their tickets. Karl and Otto, probably pretty tipsy and fearless in their condition, argued that they were just fulfilling their chivalrous duty, making sure the young lady was safe, and that they didn't need a ticket for that. Some more jokes were made at the ticket inspector's expense after which the ticket inspector slapped them with a law suit. They were found guilty of insulting an official and appearing on a departure platform without a valid ticket, and had to pay a fine. I like to think that regardless of the consequences of this prank, it was one of their most cherished memories together. Grateful that this court case involving my great-grandpa Karl and so many other old documents have been digitised and made available! Aitäh @rahvusarhiiv !

This is probably one of my favorite projects to have completed in all the calligraphy I’ve done....in part because it was a really fun layout challenge and also because of its sentimental value to my family. My mom is a bit of a family historian and has loved researching our family’s stories so I felt this would be a special gift for her this past Christmas. Her reaction did not disappoint! (swipe to see ☺️). I’ve been wanting to create a fan style family tree since first coming across one in @marthastewart years ago. Mom actually has quite a few more generations mapped out that I will add to a future creation, but for this first go I opted for a five generation layout. Now I want to do one for my own family that shows my children’s beautiful multi-cultural roots. Have any of you created family trees? I’ve added some in-process pics here so you can see some of the pencil layout as well. #familytree #familytreecalligraphy #ancestors #familyhistorian #genealogy #genealogyphotoaday #calligrafia #calligraphy #calligraphie #copperplate #engrossersscript #pointedpencalligraphy #calligraphymasters #handlettered #flourishforum #seattlecalligraphy #seattlecalligrapher #bespokestrokes #designisinthedetails #learncalligraphy

My paternal great-grandma Helene, here in a colorisation by @myretrophoto Funny how you can love someone without ever knowing them. That's what genealogy does to you. I feel spiritually very connected to Helene. Maybe it's because she passed away two weeks before I was born. Perhaps because I've read all her letters to her son's family that she wrote from exile and have the feeling I know her. Maybe I'm just so struck by her beauty. #genealogyphotoaday #family #ancestors #familyheritage #ancestry #myheritage #reallifetimetravels #timetravel #beautyfromthepast #oldphoto #familyphoto #familyphotoalbum #genealogy #savefamilyphotos #savefamilymemories #familyhistory #генеалогия #womanthroughacentury #gpad_feature #1920s #1920sfashion

Four photos of my great-grandma Helene through the years. You can guess which photo was taken during the war years... The first photo shows her during her schoolteacher years in the 1920s when she and her husband Karl got married and had their son Hillar in 1923. The second photo is taken in the war refugee camp in Germany where Karl's health unfortunately failed and Helene became a widow. The third and the fourth photo were taken in the USA where Helene sailed to under the Displaced Persons Act in 1950. She somehow managed to get a job as an in-house cook and housekeeper for a wealthy family in New Jersey and spent the rest of her life in their home far away from her birth country Estonia.

Aunt Fern’s final months as Fern Soper must have been exciting and a bit scary. I wonder how she felt at 51 years old to finally be in love and planning to leave her mother and sister and make a home with a husband. . She sure looks happy here in her apron, a few months before her wedding. . . . #1960s #1960sstyle #auntfernstreasures #auntfernfanclub #genealogyphotoaday #surname #gpad_feature #family #familystory #oldphotos #familyarchaeology #familyexcavation #archivist #familyhistory #preservememories #thewaywewere #thosegonebeforeus #ancestors #memorykeeper #savefamilyphotos #familyarchives #telltheirstories #genealogy #apron #vintageapron #midcenturyliving

My maternal great grandmother Frances Peters Ehmcke West, 1872 - 1921, with her son from her second marriage, who was born when Frances was 43. . In this photo from 1918, Frances is 46 years old. She died three years later at the age of 49. . My grandmother Iva was one of four children from Frances’s first marriage. I was close to my grandma, but I don’t remember her ever talking about her mother, how she died, or what happened to this little boy, whose name was Woodrow West. My mom and Aunt Fern never talked about their grandmother Frances either. I’m on a quest to find the answers. . . #mygreatgrandmother #family #familystory #oldphotos #familyarchaeology #familyexcavation #archivist #ancestry #familyhistory #preservememories #lostmemories #genealogy #vintagephoto #genealogyphotoaday #heirloom #gpad_feature #savefamilyphotos #myheritage

Like the fate of so many young men in the early 1940s, my grandpa Haralds was drafted into the army before he could even turn 18. As Latvia, like the other Baltic States, had by 1943 become the battlefield of the two WWII monsters, the Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, many underage school boys volunteered to defend Latvia's independence. And here was my grandpa, 17 years old, descendant of Latvians and Baltic Germans. He lived in times when his heritage could get him killed. In times when his 17 year old soul was confronted with so much death of his peers, his school buddies. He survived 2 years of Soviet war prison camp in the region of Amur in the very Far East, 10.000 km away from home. He never talked about his experience of the war or of the prison camp, or about his Baltic German roots, even after it became safe to talk about it again in the 1990s. I found out about his captivity only at his funeral, and about his family's Baltic German heritage only once I first tapped into genealogy. I wish I could have that talk now, I would have so many questions.

For #genealogyphotoaday #three, I chose this most recent family photo of @thekenyamoore and family for #familyfriday. I am PUMPED for her return to the #rhoa finale and wouldn't mind her return to the show (especially to replace some others).
