Since seven years I tried to find a cousin in USA and all I know is: She was living in Houston Texas for a while - could be about before 1990 - ??. Her name is Marlene NICOLAI, her maiden name is JUNET and she was born in France about 1942. Her parents are: Marie Therese JUNET, France and Paul MATRIAN, Germany ( he was a brother of my father in law ) and she married an US soldier ( about 1960 or a little later ) with the name Steve NICOLAI. Relatives told that she worked in a hospital in Houston in the operating room, but nobody has more information about her, most relatives died. Last contact we had were letters from her mother, from France, after WW II until Marlene was about 12 years old and the mother also was sending a wedding photo from Marlene and her husband and she told that they lived in Texas USA. The last we heard was a postcard from Marlene from 1990 France where she wrote that her mother died in Chateau le Brienne, France ( could be that she is divorced ? ). Last year I wrote to an undertaker in this village asking him if he knows the family and if he made burial for the mother of Marlene. And I was so happy that he told that he did and that he sent some mail to Marlene ( in 1990 ) to San Antonio, USA and he gave us address: Marlene NICOLAI, 231 Herweck Drive San Antonio, TX 78 213. I was so happy but the letter I wrote came back, because she moved. I could find out the she lived there for about 2 or 2 1/2 years, but the housing company can not ( or will not ) tell where she is living after this time. I think she is still living, she must be about 63 years old. So my hope is, someone must know her - or her husband - some friends, some neighbours, colleague from hospital, or so on, she lived in Houston for longer time about before 1990, or somebody has an idea for a way to find her. Or someone from her time living in San Antonio knows her. I would be very glad to find her and could take contact and write her. Regards from Bremerhaven, Germany Doris Matrian
