Greetings Admin and visitors.

The following info about Martin Kersten is offered, but I stress it is uncorroborated.

During a visit to Hamburg, Germany in early 2013 I visited numerous cousins. One such stay was at my late cousin Juergen's apartment, where he lived with his partner Hartmut.

Juergen Kierdorf:

Geb. 15 Oktober 1951, gess. January 2013.
Younger son to Elisabeth, geb. Kersten and Hugo Kierdorf, geb. Feb. 1908, gess. Oktober, late 1980s- to be confirmed.)
Younger brother to Siegfried Kersten, geb. May 1940 to Elisabeth Kersten.

In Juergen's apartment was a calendar hanging on the back of a door. I took some photos of it, then forgot about it. It has now become a valuable reference.

Juergen was a methodical person and also possessed a most considerate manner. He was respected for his expertise working with people, especially as a 'Pflegedienstleiter'. He worked with young people suffering from depression.

A calendar entry for 18 August reads 'Martin gess. 1943.'
A calendar entry for 15 August reads 'Elli u. Papa 1956.'

I intend contacting the surviving clan in due course to elicit details which may have relevance here.

As I peruse the deeper pockets of this website, it's timely to express deep thanks for all the work which has gone into it. Thank you.

Andreas
