    3. This has all been very interesting to me. My grandmother emigrated from Germany, at the age of 12, and lived with German-born parents til she got married. Then she married a German fellow. I remember so very clearly going to the cemetery, to put flowers on the graves of her husband and her baby and to plant flowers. She took good care of this gravesite and would go more frequently than most people in the states. Now I understand why. Thanks, Arlene Buch-Houghton surnames: Buch/Bopp/Loos/Krauss
