Finding Out Who I am by Discovering Where I'm From

So I've been working on RootsMagic and building up a reservoir of family data by working with my Granny, Walburga Hudson.  I'm also calling my great grandparents, Eldon and Bernice Sintek, and my grand mother, Sonja Wagner to gather information.  I've used Dropbox as a back up system but I thought putting some pictures up would be a good idea for anyone doing a random Google search who may be a distant relative looking for information.  

Oberthomasdorf, Sudetenland, Schelsien (now the Czech city of Horni Domašov). 
Hometown of my family before Sudetenland was given to Hitler as an appeasement.     

Walburga's (aka granny) oma and opa: Anna Magdalena Streit and Joseph Adam Heinze
Married: 30 July 1900 in Freiwaldau, Sudetenland
