Hi Patricia,
Reading your threat I remembered my grandmother telling me about her uncle who migrated to
the US in the time before WWII, as far as I know. They went to the area around Chicago. My
granny had contact to them, but she couldn't keep it up and lost it. She was born as
Elja Zabel as 1 of 4 Zabel-kids in the city I just know with German name
"Bromberg", today it's Poland. Her age of birth is 1935, so her uncle should
be born around 1900, but I don't know his name. If you think this might be a scenario
that could fit in your family's history please write. I would also like to know what
happened to my (unknown to me) relatives overseas!
Dennis.
