Hello my name is Ingeborg Claudia Schaefer, I am trying to find my aunts and uncles who I have never met. They live in Germany somewhere, their parents were Robert and Natalie Jahnke and use to live in Sechselberg Gemainde Waldmannshofen. My mothers name was Christel Schaefer (geborene Jahnke) her brothers and sisters were Uwe, Rudi, Adolf, Lidia, Ingertraut, Hildegart Jahnke.
Would anyone know of this family, I Know they use to live in Hamburg, but not sure where they are in Germany now.
My father Hans Joachim Schaefer and my mother have been deceased for some time so I do not have a lot of background information. If anyone has any knowledge or ideas on how to locate this family then please email me. I do not read or understand German, but I do not mind if the reply is in German. thank you
Waldmannshofen: try Hessen, west Germany, not East Prussia.
Hello Claudia:
SECHSELBERG is located in BADEN-WUERTTEMBERG/Germany. An area map is
available at < http://members.accesstoledo.com/pfeifer/sechselberg.html >.
You may want to contact RON PFEIFER. Some of his ancestors came from
SECHSELBERG. There are two towns by the name of WALDMANNSHOFEN in
present-day Germany. The most likely candidate of the two would be the one
which is just "a spit and a holler" north of the town of ESCHACH. The
distance from this WALDMANNSHOFEN to your SECHSELBERG is around 20 or so
kilometers.
Tschuess and Good Luck !

The other names might be there too.
