Telling the stories of strangers

"Shared Treasures": Mrs. Anna Hohmann née Korb from Schlaggenwald
The digitized Czech Archives helped me reconstruct the following details:
Johann Hohmann and Anna Korb married on January 31, 1815, in Schlaggenwald. The woman in the photo was born on April 29, 1795—nearly 230 years ago! How incredible is that?
