Ich habe eine Anfrage aus England erhalten, konnte aber bisher in Norddeutschland nichts Entsprechendes finden. Vielleicht hat jemand in den Listen Ideen oder kann auch an andere Listen weiterleiten. Darüber würde ich mich sehr freuen. Nachfolgend die Anfrage:
"I am descended from a family named Dettmer who lived in London in the
18th and 19th centuries. We believe that he descend from someone who
migrated from Germany. The migrant may have been George Dettmer,
probably born in the 1730s.
He founded (or continued) a company making pianofortes, which was
best known between 1800 and 1830. His son, William, continued the
tradition, but there were several people named Dettmer who were
employed by the company.
Do you know of any piano-making tradition among Dettmers in Germany,
and do you know of any Dettmers who migrated to England?
With best wishes,
Bill Piper"
Herzlichen Dank an Alle für die Bemühungen
