Hi Christine. Thanks for you indulgence in my quest.The situation I have found myself in is only now beginng to sink in.Your reply makes sense and I was aware that a birth certificate would be needed,I have one that states my father was the same as my older brother and sister's dad "offically".My last surviving aunt(,my moms younger sister)says differently.The real problem is I do not speak or write German which is tough when going to applicable sites,time to purchase an english-german-elish dictionary. Thankyou very much. John ?
Hi John,
I'm just following the conversation between you and Christine.
But when Christine says,
> And there are 4 Fraenkel in 08606 Oelsnitz / Vogtland - but
no Ernst.
a red light comes up..
With only 432 Fraenkel in the whole of Germany and 4 of them
in the Oelsnitz you mention, there is a high possibility,
that one of them "MIGHT" have an answer for you.
I would write each one of them a nice little introductory letter
like :saxonyroots.com - Diese Website steht zum Verkauf! - Informationen zum Thema saxonyroots.
and then take it from there..
Have a nice evening,
Wolf
