I was researching a German Maternal branch of my tree the other day and I came across this cousin who falls squarely in to my group of childless women about whom I want to write their stories as best as I am able. I never knew her, or of her, but her story has to be pretty remarkable: she was trapped in Germany during World War 1. Apparently she was visiting German relatives when the war broke out and she was unable to return home. I learned this from her passport application. When I can find the time I am sure it will be fun to piece together and imagine her life.

She certainly seems very stern, doesn't she?
