A few years ago I came across the "Die offizielle Gemeinde-Vermisstenliste von Marienburg" (The official community list of missing persond from Marienburg) It provides as little of information as- Basner, Paul Roonstraße 1 or as much as- Glowinke, Herbert 3.3.21 Gelsenkirchen (date & place of birth) Nogstweg 79 (address) Arbeiter (occupation - worker) zuletzt Bahnhofwirtschaft Marienburg (last restaurant worker in Marienburg) Angehoeriger von Friederieke Glowinka (relativ of Friederieke Glowinka) letzte Nachricht 16.2.45 aus Pilonken-Oliwa (last news from Pilonken-Oliwa) The report was created from about the 1960's, maybe even into the 1970's Many relationships are metioned , also when the person was dragged off by Russian soldiers. A problem with the list there are about 200 pages, no index, not alphabetical, but it lists according to address alphabetically. I don't know if there are other lists generated, I assume there very well may be, also by community. Unfortunately, that is a definite maybe. I mainly use it as a refence in my lectures.
