Reply with quote

I am researching my German catholic ancestor

Andermann born/baptized in 1803 in Weigelsdorf/Reichenbach/Breslau/Schlesien/PreuBen/Deutschand
(current day Wigancice / Wroclaw / Silesia)

Throughout the years, a cherished tapestry has passed from generation to generation. My mother would display the family bible onto this fabric runner during special occasions or religious holidays. The textile or woven fabric has what appears to be a monogram on its borders & a pointed star motif on its corners. I was hoping that you could help identify its origin or symbolism

Thank you for helping to solve this missing piece of our heritage puzzle!
Laurie
