Thomas Jefferson Bob and Gerry, With your help, I have nailed one place down in Germany. Thought something sounded familiar. Went through my old files, and found a Memorial card sent from Germany in 1915. this was on the death of Herr Ferdinand Conrady. This was Wilhelmina's father. Mourning relatives are shown to be in Saarbrucken, Rudesheim, Gerol-stein, MOSELKERN, Texas (North America). Looks like Wilhelmina (my grandmother) was born in Moselkern. Still working on the Pessarra birth location in Poland. We had always understood that he came from Loetzen, East Prussia; now Gizycko, Poland. But we have one right. Thanks again.
