Hello all,
As far as I know my family in particular changed their name Zabel to Cabel. According
to my father (which isn't a real realiable source) the Polish couldn't pronounce
the name properly. The family I'm looking for would the family that had Adolph Zabel
as a son. I know nothing about that family except who he married. This is what I know
according to documentation:
Adolph Zabel was born in 1900 and he was shot by a group of Polish men who were afraid
that he and other germans would join forces with Germany. He died in 1939. He has family
in curtiba, brazil. The current relatives of this family can be traced by doing a simply
search with 411. Adolph married Wanda Scheffler (b. 1904) together they had four sons.
One died in battle (adolph), Leo died much later of a heart attack, Auto the last
remaining of this family, and Reinholdt my grandfather.
Everyone posts would be welcomed. Thanks
