These documents were sent to me at the end of the 1990s. I had written to all of the Peitzkers listed in the national, German telephone book (yes, analogue but it was online so I could look up their names & addresses!)
I digitised these records in May 2024, as we were waiting on the imminent death of our mother, Desley Pudniks nee Marsh. It was a liminal space where I existed in the family home and then, when she was moved to a hospice for the final 6 weeks or so, driving out from the hinterland of Cairns to the Northern beaches, Kewarra, the aged care home where she eventually passed.
So to annotate this and share the German side of the family while I was in frequent contact with my brothers and father, I uploaded the digitised docs to an Australian journalling app called Journalfy from Melbourne. I also have the copies in Dropbox so I will post more about each of these sets of files.
For now, they are fairly self explanatory. The comments are the personal replies to the Journalfy app's "prompts" about what to write in your journal while travelling - smells, memories of sights, colours and moments shared with loved ones.
That is a fitting context for sharing these photos, sketched out family trees, letters about our German relatives, the Peitzker branch at least, by the handful of "living Peitzker" family members I reached out to per letter in ca 1998!
