My Aunt Catherine Fischer married a German Soldier and stayed in Germany. Her brothers "Fritz"Frederick and "Frank" Herman Paul moved to America but at different times. There family home was occupied during WW2 by the Russians as there head quarters because it was stone or brick and could withstand the bombing raids, etc... "Frank"as he was liked to be called is my G Grandfather. He moved to Watertown, NY and then to Oswego, NY which is where he lived with his family. I am unsure of the names of my GGgrands who's parents to the above. I do know that my Aunt Catherine wrote to my Ggrandfather after the war for many years. Her and her husband stayed in Germany and never emmirgrated.
