List members, especially anyone that speaks GERMAN, I need your help. One of my fellow NEGenWeb Project county coordinators received a query that is completely in GERMAN and we are trying to find out exactly what this man is trying to say in his query, Using an online translator still does not help much. Here is the message in GERMAN and also the translated version which leaves much to be desired. Your help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

> Translation: My comments are in brackets. The family name "Backemeier" probably originates from the land district [Landkreis, so this would similar to a county or state] "Schaumburg Lippe." Region: Frille in Westphalia [damaligen means "of that time" so Frille was in the region known as Westphalia at that time, but is something else now]. I am not 100 percent sure. Perhaps there is other data from this time. My father, Karl-Heinz was born in 1935. My grandfather, Heinrich was born ??. All other ancestors names are unfortunately unknown. The only thing I'm sure of is that they originate in Frille.
