Hi Karen,

It has been many years. Your parents are my godparents. I don’t know if you remember me, but we often visited your house in Glen Cove when you were growing up. I hope your Mom is doing well !!!

My wife actually found this article. It is obviously very touching and your father and mother were extremely good to me growing up. I never knew any of this. Our parents really never talked about the past much, for obvious reasons.

I have very fond memories of your family. My Mom married Roland Hartmann of Sekitsch, and his brother Oswald publishes Das Donautal Magazine.

Please keep in touch. I now live in Rhode Island with my wife and 3 kids, one of whom is in school in Boston now. I hope you are doing well and I really applaud you for writing this.

Warm Regards,

Steven Schaefer

Hello Karen,
I absolutely love this photo…so much so, that as you already know, I used it in my dissertation. I espeically love the side story of the ear rings Inge is wearing.
Good luck with your research,
Brian

Karen – as always, your writing is nothing less than wonderful. This posting truly honors your father and made me appreciate the time spent with my own dad this past week all the more. Thank you for sharing!

Karen,

Many, many miles and five days away from your posting, I’m moved to tears by your loss, your story, your vow, and your questions. I hope you realize how much honor you give by them, even if you never find the living human beings you are seeking.

peace,
Mara

Hi Karen!

As there is no contact info available on your blog I need to contact you through comment instead. My fellow researcher Brigitte Wolf from Berlin told me about you and our common interest in family research of the Sekitsch area.

There is a KARBIENER Elisabetha in my family tree who got married to BRAUCHLER Philipp in Feketitsch (reformed) around 1880. Let me know if this links to your family tree please. I’d also like to link your blog on my website if you agree.

All the best,
Annette
