THANK YOU...

aunt Sigrid ALTROGGE from Belle, who by handing over a farm history and old letters, prompted the passion

to investigate the family history.

 

THANKS...

all family members, especially my parents and my aunts Rosi ZIMMERMANN, Ilse DÜLLMANN and Lisa RÖWE,

who

- listened, remembered and answered my questions,

- rummaged around old paperwork and photographs,

- made certificates and photographs available,

- my cousin Andrea, for the thought and book exchange as well as encouraging pats on the back when

   searches came to a halt.

 

THANK YOU...

This site could only emerge for I could trust on my husband and son's patient support in technical

and translation matters.

 

All this is not to be taken for granted!

 

P.S.

If I forgot someone please pardon me.

Small solace: This site will be updated and improved regularly.

 

 

A mind once formed finds naught made right thereafter;

A growing mind will thank you evermore.
