My maternal grandparents are from Krefeld: Karl Arnold Hans (born 1902) & Martha Marie Bayer Hans (born 1903 in Netherlands but lived in Krefeld). Karl is the son of Ferdinand Hans & Lizetta with siblings Friedrich, Hildegard & Rudy. Martha's parents are Paul Bayer & Julia Linden Bayer, siblings Elly & Friedrich. Karl & Martha married in 1924 & emigrated to the US in 1925 but their families remained in Germany. I also have information about some of the siblings's spouses & children:
Elly Bayer married Max Rother: children Gertrude & Reinhardt
Friedrich Bayer married Frieda Jentges: child Ulla. Friedrich was in the Army during WWII
Rudy Hans married Trudy: child Hans
Friedrich Hans married Christle
I am searching from the US but cannot find ANY evidence of this family on the Ancestry or Family Search websites or the Ancestry World tree. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you.
