I wonder if you can help me, like all of us on here I' am working on my
family tree and trying to trace relatives, some of which emigrated to
Brazil. My Great Grandmother Anna Marie Wilking emigrated to Brazil at
sometime between World War 1 and 2 from Oldenburg, she had a son at this
time Rolf Wilking (my grandfather), Anna Marie did marry but I do not know
if she married before or after emigrating and she also had a daughter with
the man she married not sure of her name or if she was born in Germany or
Brazil. I know that my Great Grandmother and her family lived in Joinville
but her son Rolf returned to Oldenburg sometime before March 1939 as this is
when he got his Bakers Guild, Rolf would have been 20 years old and 21 in
the November.
I have an address from 1947 of a chemists (pharmacy) in Brazil, would the
address have been the home of Anna Marie or were chemist used as a mailing
address.
How can I find details on my family, where they lived, what they did,
deaths, births, etc. I've tried looking for Brazilian census and on shipping
list but cannot find anything for either Anna Marie or Rolf.
Your help would be much appreciated.
