The mystery of the cast-off Castorffs We recently had a breakthrough with the Morton family of Essex after 30 years, but as soon as you solve one family mystery another takes its place. The details are on our family history blog at http://su.pr/2TDbaI but what happened was that Emma Morton married George David Julius Casdorff at Colchester, Essex in Oct 1856. They sailed to south Africa on the "Stamboul" a fortnight later and landed at East London on 2 Feb 1857. George took his discharge from the British German Legion in February 1860. In October 1861 George and Emma Castorff were godparents to Emma's sister's child in King William's Town and that seems to be the last record of them in South Africa. So where did they go? Australia? New Zealand? India? USA? Canada? Brazil? Rhodesia? Back to the UK or Germany? News of any sightings will be gratefully received.

Hello, Out of the eight, there is only one born 1912/1914 (but 3 born 1908,1909 and 1911).

The German telephone directory at http://www2.dastelefonbuch.de/ has 8 listings for Pilz Erwin. And there is also a Pilz Erwin listed on Facebook. Being born in the mid-1910's means he is probably not still living, but there might be a family connection with one of those in the phone directory. Wouldn't hurt to make some contacts. We have had good luck before with that tactic. Good luck, Joe in Texas

I maintain all my genealogical records, on my computer as PDF files. In this way they are easily accessed without digging through piles of paper. For hard copies that I obtain, they are all scanned into my computer. One of the things that I have frequently wish I for was the ability to add comments and markers to PDF document. This function is now available in the latest revision of Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader X has the ability to added highlights to the text in an PDF file, (You can still not highlight parts of an image). You can add sticky notes any place in and in any PDF document. It shows up in all versions of the Adobe Reader. With Adobe Reader X you can remove the highlight and comments when ever you wish.
Hello, 8 (eight) Erwin Pilz born between 1900 and 1923 died between 1942 and 1945 (http://www.volksbund.de/). Without further details, in particular at least a rough idea about his birth date, it is difficult to tell wether yours is among these 8 or not.

Up until she was married in 1938, my mother in the US had a rather well-to-do German pen pal for a couple years. He sent her dozens of postcards which I still have. I'm wondering how difficult it would be, knowing only his name (Erwin J.Pilz) and his approximate birth date in the mid-1910's, to determine if he served in and survived the War. Although I don't have online access to German records, would this type of information have been recorded and possibly survived today? Would his name have been common enough that I would likely need more information to be able to zero in on him?

We've ordered the marriage certificate, which should reveal which it was. I did mention that the name Castorff seemed familiar, and I've found where I saw it -- Edwin Robert Morton Decker, son of August and Mary Nevard Decker, nee Morton, was baptised at Holy Trinity Churcdh, King William's Town, in 1861, and his godparents were Robert Gross and George and Emma Castorff, which I'm pretty certain were the same George and Emma who appeared on the same page in the marriage register. But again, the marriage certificate should reveal that. But after that George and Emma seem to have disappeared. Wish I'd known the link at the time we were looking at the baptism register in the vestry at King William's town back in 1975. I'd have looked more diligently for Castorffs as well. -- Steve Hayes Web: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com/ http://hayesgreene.blogspot.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/afgen/
