Dear sir,
I would like to know if you have any information about the family Ellerwald. My granddad is Ferdinand Ellerwald, born at the 5th of November 1907, his father was Franz Ellerwald, born at the 22th of Februari 1864. The mother of Ferdinand Ellerwald is Rosa Bark-Ellerwald, born at the 5th of September 1869. They all were born in Tolkemit, Preussen. I am surching for their home-address in Tolkemit. During the war they left Tolkemit.Any other information about relatives would be wonderfull.
Thank you kindfully,
yours sincerely,
Heike Reimus
Hallo Heike
Unfortunately I research the Town of Ellerwald not the Family Ellerwald. Have you tried asking people on the following Yahoo groups… Elbing-L, OW-Preussen- famint- prussiangenealogy?
Perhaps someone on one of those lists might have information.
Herzliche Grus aus Colorado!
