My name is Nick Clarke, I am currently researching the following names;
Springborn
Wahrendorf
My Mother was Jutta A. M. Clarke (nee Springborn), she was born in
Wachendorf, Syke Nr Bremen 28th Aug 1948 her Parents
were
Walter Springborn, Born 30th Nov 1913 in Gdlingen, Danzig, Germany (now
Gdynia, Poland)
&
Hildergard Minna Springborn (nee Wahrendorf), Born 24th May 1913 in Danzig,
Germany (now Gdansk, Poland)
After the War they moved to Wachendorf, Syke, then after 1964 moving to
Mellinghausen.
I know from research that I have done so far that some of the Springborn's
moved to Muhlheim.
I am struggling to find any further information and was wondering if anyone
could point me in the right direction,
specifically for;
Births, Deaths & Marriages
Census Records (or the German / Polish equivalent)
Trace any living descendants
I look forward to hearing back from anyone with some useful info & advise
Hello Nick,
there is a very interesting Polish website dealing with genealogy.
Admittedly they are mostly into Posen / Poznan area roots which are
of course not Gdansk. However perhaps it would be possible for you
to find assistance through their forum or any of their Polish members.
Germany > Former German States > West Prussia (Westpreussen)
as Danzig was in Westpreussen.
You will find information about the area your German grandparents came
from if you put Danzig Westpreussen into GOOGLE, and help with translation of
anything German again in the Germanyroots website.

P.S. Just noticed you mention Germanyroots yourself at the end of your mail - never
mind I'll leave my mail as it is and send it off.
