Hello Phil. I have placed a link to your site from ManyRoads. You should find the link under German History at http://many-roads.com/index.php/link-directory/.
Thank you for your kind words about ManyRoads.

Your site was recommended to me by a friend who, like me, has an interest in the “Flucht und Vertreibung”.
Having perused your site this evening I am sure I will return.
Congratulations on what you have done (it makes my site look extremely primative) and I wish you all the best as you add to it.

Ich suche für den 70.Geburtstag meines Mannes ein paar Informationen über seine Vorfahren. I am from the Philippines and my husband is from Neukirch-Höhe, Elbing. I came to Germany 1972.
Ich wäre dankbar wenn ich zu seinem Geburtstag ein paar Bilder von
seine Heimat finden würde. Ich möchte auch für ihn ein Stammbaum
erstellen. Perhaps you can help me. Thanks a lot!
