I enjoyed the way you presented this group of vinatage postcards as a view of Karlsplatz at different periods in history- and then related it to your ancestor’s military photo. When I visited the Platz during Octoberfest in 1989, I saw a group of Americans playing bluegrass music. I believe they were looking for tips to buy their passage back home to the states.

“But this postcard was also special because it reminded me of what postcards are all about – friends connecting and keeping in touch while sharing their travel experiences.”

You are so right – sometimes with my focus on family history and interest in postcrossing and mail art, I lost track of what postcards were really all about.

Thanks for a terrific article!

This post is fan-tastic. The marriage of the old & new, the family & friend. Excellent.

I enjoy your writing so much. This had such a perfect ebb and flow. It was a pleasure to read.

Girl, you can write.

Donna, what a wonderful post! To have such tangible proof that your great-grandfather Joseph was on the same square as in the photograph is so amazing. Makes all our efforts at research for this genealogy passion we have all worth it. Your young friend was so generous and kind to join in that research, I do hope one day you will reconnect with one another. Who knows, she may happen upon this post and send you an email!

Really enjoyed the different views of the Karlsplatz and even the 360 degree view of the square today.
