I can definitely see a resemblance to Brian in this picture. I like the hat story, thanks for sharing. It stories like these that make me wonder what little things my grandchildren will remember about me. Every time we are together I am intentional about making memories.

Comment on A Visit to the Boerne Cemetery by Dorothy Ann Herms Ebert

I am a descendant of Conrad Adam, thru his daughter Emma Adam Herms, who was married to
Christian Herms. One of their sons was Herbert Alfred Herms who married Hertha Haas, daughter
of Otto Carl Haas and Emilie Uecker Haas. Herbert and Hertha had 2 children, Alfred Max Herms
who married Pamela Anderson and had one daughter Melissa. Herbert & Hertha’s youngest child
was Dorothy Ann Herms, who married Eugene John Ebert from New Braunfels. They had an
adopted daughter Lori, and 3 birth sons. They were divorced in 1980 and Eugene passed away
in Oct. 2011. I am Dorothy and still reside in New Braunfels. I am always delighted to see Gerhard
Adam from Braunfels, Germany, when he visits with other dignitaries from New Braunfels’ Sister
City of Braunfels, Germany, about every 2 years. He is a 4th generation descendant of Conrad’s
brother who remained in Germany and I am a 4th generation from Conrad who came to Boerne, TX.

It is. Carl’s parents are not so lucky. They are buried on their old homeplace and it is very difficult to get to the tombstone.

Comment on Tombstone Tuesday: Theresa Adam Voges by Kathryn

I agree! Thrasa is the German pronounciation. If I understand correctly, the German spelling is Therese which would be pronounced Thrasa. The “American” spelling would be Theresa. I need to investigate to see if I can find a document she signed with the spelling she preferred. Her mother’s name was spelled many different ways also. I think it was spelled Adelberthe in German and then she changed the e’s to a’s to become “Americanized.” Do you happen to have a picture of your great-grandmother?
