The Langer Family in Aalborg Denmark Story

There is one photograph in my entire family photos archive that both fascinates me and remains a mystery.

That photo is a 1904(?) family group image of the Langer’s in Aalborg, Denmark.

Both my great grandfather Langer and his father, my great-great-grandfather, are in the photo, as are about nine other Langer’s.

There is no description of the image, front or back, except that someone wrote “1904 / Denmark” on the back.

I was not aware of this photo until about 2005, as it was held by another family member.

I have been researching this photo ever since.

About Me

Massachusetts, United States
As an archivist, historian, and genealogist I share a love of history & family stories, travel, the ocean beach, architecture, & old movies with my wife Anne. I am originally from Reading, PA. My entire family heritage in the U.S. is in 3 Pennsylvania counties: Berks, Lancaster, & Philadelphia (city). When I moved to Boston to attend graduate school, I fell in love with Boston, my wife, & New England, pretty much in that order. Professionally, I am an archivist & historian, work which never ceases to excite me throughout the day. I have been an archivist for 28 years. I enjoy watching documentaries, & old movies, reading the print edition of the Boston Globe every morning, & listening to music. Stories in Archives, History, and Life will both look back as I share insights from my life experiences; & will look forward as I talk about what I am trying to accomplish in life & as an archivist/historian. Some stories will be short, sometimes very short, while others will be longer pieces.
