Hi Klaus,

Yes, my family has quite an interesting story. My grandfather Gustav was born in the year 1906 in Polish Volhynia in the small village of Milaschev (just East of Kolki, kreis Lutsk). His grandfather Jakob had come there I'm guessing around 1870 from either Poland or Germany. During WWII my grandfather and his family were resettled in German occupied Poland and given a farm to work. Later, he was drafted into the German army. After the war ended my grandmother Elli was stranded in East Germany while my grandfather was in West Germany. Gustav then located his wife, got across the border and smuggled his entire family (wife and seven children)back into West Germany. The German government then resettled my family on the island of Baltrum. The family lived there until 1951 when they left for America and settled in Berrien County, Michigan.
