Berta Duckstein 1877 – 1940
An interesting CDV, it isn’t often that I find a name on a CDV and less often their date of birth and death, my immediate thought was that Berta was the baby, however I think that she may have been the Nanny with the dates added following her death. I wondered whether, given her name whether she had been killed by the Germans for being Jewish.

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
