Ultimately, I asked #grandma, if she knew anything about the predecessor of the current war memorial in #Hinterzarten, in order to figure out, why her designated father Augustin #Steurenthaler is still missing on it, although he went missing during it. But all she remembered was that there were […]
Today, I completed transcribing the second half of the #grandma recording, I had started last week and while at it, I managed to complete the remaining two recordings from that 10th of October 2021 as well. There was another round of picking on poor aunt Sophie #Steurenthaler who cried for […]
Today's #grandma recording from October 2021 I couldn't transcribe in one round. I is 28:44 long and I had to stop after 20 minutes and over 160 bulleted lines of notes.
It mainly revolved around the mandatory social year, grandma did at her aunt Sophie #Steurenthaler ( […]
#Grandma also mentioned her foster-child introducing her to a waitress with the rare name #Steurenthaler (grandma's maiden name) in a restaurant in #Hamburg in the 1970s(?). Unfortunately, I've still not been able to establish contact to Steurenthalers there nor to find the actual connection to […]
It seems that I've spent the last two hours researching the administrative history of #Hungary (in order to be able to maybe create the Hungarian #Steurenthaler branch during #January2026ConnectAThon) and how to add the results to #Wikidata (in order to be able to have the locations generated by […]
Now also done with this week's #grandma recording: Among others, she told the sad story of the chocolate Easter bunny, she had received from her godfather Edwin #Steurenthaler. She never had seen such a beautiful Easter bunny before, so she wanted to keep it and left it in the room on the table […]
One of this week's quite belated #grandma recordings mentioned her father Ludwig #Steurenthaler https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-2 who reportedly as a kid "didn't know neither Christmas nor cake". He always got upset, when his wife's family would bake #Christmas #cookies ... but he […]
In one of today's #grandma recordings, she told me about her memory of being a 4 year old being taken by her grandma to visit her other grandfather Joseph #Steurenthaler https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-71 He gave her a 1 Reichsmark coin as a gift, which her grandma told him was […]
Today's #grandma recording mentioned her brother Ludwig #Steurenthaler and how he regularly was sent to get the neighbor's horse - at the age of three. He wasn't afraid at all of the huge animal, while grandma, his nine years older sister was and couldn't be sent for the job. At the same age, he […]
Transcribed the first of the last three #grandma recordings for 2020. A big part was about her father. As a soldier in #WW1, he was stationed in #Alsace/#Elsass at/near Château de Landskron. He kept hearing the bell of nearby Mariastein Abbey in Canton #Solothurn in #Switzerland. He wanted to go […]
Couldn't sleep anymore and took the chance to document one of the Polish forced laborers, who used to work for my great-grandfathers brother Joseph #Steurenthaler. Meet Marianna Pióro:

I originally thought, he was from #Rippoldsau and she told me about the nice people from there, she had met on a bus trip to Norway some years ago. They also visited her afterwards and called for her birthday. But Josef from "Ripertsau" was in fact from Ruprechtsau aka Robertsau in […]
In today's #grandma recording, I told her about Josef #Steurenthaler from the #Gummersbach area and how I can't connect him to her and her father's Steurenthaler family. What a coincidence, that I found his origin some weeks ago and created his profile […]
@eneh War mein Ernst, nutze das für meine #Steurenthaler und #Meszecsov, da klappt das super!
Today's #grandma recording mentioned Albert #Steurenthaler, who used to pick on grandma's aunt, for only having one child. "If that one dies, you won't have anyone", he said, bragging with his six (or five?) children. Then #WorldWarII came and five of his children died […]

Yesterday, I called a town hall because of a story about a pub/inn #grandma had told me. I was looking for a place that was owned by a #Steurenthaler family. The woman told me about privacy rights, but I said I'm only looking for a local history buff. She gave me a number. He knew all inns and […]
Today's #grandma recording told the story of a woman, who came from the #Hamburg area to Black Forest during the war (maybe to #Heuweiler). There she married somebody named #Steurenthaler, which also was grandma's maiden name. The man, who used to be grandma's foster kid, introduced the two […]

Still in March 2019, #grandma talked about how her father Ludwig #Steurenthaler https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-2 learned to be a charcoal burner and later a sawyer in the sawmill of his brother. There used to be a former charcoal burning site (kiln) in the neighborhood, where her […]
While registering the #Steurenthaler entries from the German War Graves Commission (#Volksbund) website, I found the entry of an Ernst Steurenthaler, which I managed to identify as referring to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-100 . So far, I only knew his name from the war memorial […]
The #grandma recording today told how her father Ludwig #Steurenthaler and her uncle Paul #Wehrle took care that Ludwig's four siblings, who were single and never did an apprenticeship, were given the former mill building of their parents' house to live there. Ludwig worked a whole winter in […]
