Her oral tradition was continued by her son, Carl Friedrich Froebel, the author's grandfather, as well as his Froebel great aunts. During Froebel-Parker's study at the Julius Maximilians Universitaet in Wuerzburg, then West Germany, the author began to visit Froebel sites in the German Democratic Republic (GDR/"DDR"). Friends and Froebel Family members still there began to acquaint him with the ancient Thuringian "Heimat" (homeland), to which he and other Froebel family members return at every opportunity. Later, when the author taught English as a Foreign Language at Marie Curie Oberschule in West Berlin, he was again able to make frequent visits across the "Iron Curtain" to the region where Froebel and the Kindergarten were considered elements of World Cultural Heritage. As the Froebel Decade began in 2013, the author and his mother, born a Froebel, traveled to the Froebel birthplace of Oberweissbach and the home of the first kindergarten in Bad Blankenburg. There he made a presentation of his children's book, The First Kindergarten: Friedrich Wilhelm August Froebel & Baroness Bertha von Marenholtz-Buelow to Blankenburg mayor, Frank Persike. The 1900 work by Denton Jacques Snider offered insight into Froebel's life and the creation of Kindergarten for its Victorian audience. Froebel-Parker has expanded this with notes, some elucidation of antiquated vocabulary, illustrations, and information gleaned from myriad visits to Thuringia, genealogical research, and data collected and presented on The Froebel Web. The latter is the world's largest online English language source of information on the educator and kindergarten, begun by Froebel relatives in Australia. This new edition of Snider's book is part of Froebel-Parker's "Ahnentafel Series" which includes The First Kindergarten, Friedrich and the First Kindergarten, and Grandma Harrington and the Queen's Wardrobe, about maternal and paternal ancestors from the Tudor Court.ver menos
