Picture Galery Mayer Family

Call them by their names!

The topic of people’s names and, if applicable, how they are connected to the family is of particular importance. With the death of each relative, a piece of information is lost. Without labels, pictures are almost worthless. Therefore, it’s a good idea to sit down with your ancestors, with your relatives in good time and work through the photo albums and label them. It’s worthwhile.

The Mayer Family

This family has an old wimemaking tradition. This can be seen in many of the pictures. Harvest time was always a very special time. A season characterized by work but also by happieness, joy and gratitude, as the year’s fruit was being harvested. This is also reflected in the pictures.

The pictures are almost entirely from Großheppach, in the lower Remstal valley near Stuttgart, Germany.
