Anna was born on October 10, 1860, one of the twelve children born to Wilhelm (William) and Auguste Franziska (Anders) von Rosenberg. Accompanied by his family, William and Auguste arrived in Galveston, Texas from Germany in 1849 and moved to Austin, Texas in 1856. Anna's siblings were: Charles, married Walleska Sutor; Arthur, married Mary Holland; Earnest, married Hellena Lungkwitz; Paul, married Cornelia McCuistion; Laura, married C. von Carlowitz; Emma, married August Giesen; William, married Louise Rhode; Lina, married George G. Bissell; Frederick C., married Nina Stephens; and Mina Agnes. Anna married William C. Hornberger in 1881. A list of births included in the photo album indicates that the couple had nine children.

Included are photographs of Anna's siblings and their respective families, as well as members of the extended family. Surnames include Giesen, von Rosenberg, Wupperman, Bissell, Linderman, Schench, Goeth, and Beckman.
