Description

Eva Tietjen lives in Saarbrücken, where she worked as the head of a judicial authority’s cash department. Because both her grandparents and her father wrote in Kurrentschrift, she learned to read the cursive at a young age. When she later conducted ancestry research, she needed to use it again. Seven years ago, she became interested in the transcription of historical letters. Since January of 2021, she has participated regularly in the Horner Library’s Transcription Tuesday meetings alongside Regina.

de-DE Eva Tietjen lebt in Saarbrücken, wo sie vor ihrer Pensionierung als Leiterin der Kassenabteilung einer Justizbehörde gearbeitet hat. Weil sowohl ihre Großeltern als auch ihr Vater in Kurrentschrift geschrieben haben, erlernte sie das Lesen der Schrift schon in jungen Jahren - Im Zusammenhang mit ihrer eigenen Ahnenforschung wurde diese Fähigkeit nochmals relevant. Vor sieben Jahren begann sie, sich für die Transkription von historischen Briefen zu interessieren. Seit Januar 2021 nimmt sie zusammen mit Regina regelmäßig am „Transcription Tuesday“ der Horner Library teil.
