Hey extremely frustrating , my dad was under the impression he origionally came from Chemnitz, and that hugos family moved from the east to the west, before outbreak of ww2 told they moved to Black forest area, but after a little help from a kind wiki person, who not only told me which civil registry to apply too in Chemnitz , also drafted me an email in German to send ,(i dont speak german/iv never been to germany) . This is not the case , they have no record of him their, i was totally gutted with this news, i had put so much time and energy into Chemnitz, stadts, district,,now im kinda stuck as where to go/try next. East germany , well its like a needle in a haystack , I do have a good amount of info , or so i thought , but the german naming patterns ,have me all over the place and i just cant pinpoint the exact family, my geography is terrible, so iv had to do a good bit of research on east germany, and ww2 in general, and have so much info written down, so any help , pointing me in the right direction , would b appreciated,, #determined#stubborn#nevergiveup#
