Hi Steph
The village is most likely Osterwanna near Cuxhaven. 14 k's SE. Cuxhaven is located on the Elbe Delta.
A Rolf Seeberg lives in Midlum which is 12.0 ks from Osterwanna
Address is
Danziger Str. 6
27632 Midlum
Germany
Koster is a relative rare name in that neighbourhood. Could it be K�ster ?
Some live near by in Nordleda, Cuxhaven and Neuenkirchen. Villages are located between 2.4 k's and 6.5 k's from Wanna
If you fiddle around long enough with www.teleauskunft.de you will find a very detailed map
Good Luck.

thank you for the information . on original german papers looks like there is an umlaut over the o , of course on translation it was left off as its not generally used in english. Dont always think of that when i write and of course its an important distinction -thanks again -steph
