Remembering Our Ancestors: ‘Stumbling Stones’ in Honor of Jupp and Änne

Bochum has not forgotten Jupp and Änne. I am sure they'd be happy about that.

Until recently, we did not know when exactly, where or how Great-Uncle Hans died. Now we know.

Our 8th and 9th great-grandfather Studebaker died this week 292 years ago, only three days before his 66th birthday.

This week 206 years ago, our 3rd (and 4th) great-grandfather Bücker passed away.

Last Monday 68 years ago, our (2nd) great-grandmother Johanna von Hinten passed away in Minden, Germany.

It would have been our (great-)grandmother 105th birthday this week.

What a fitting last name for someone who lived her whole life in the coal-miner town of Clausthal in the Harz mountains.
