Hi everybody,
Sorry to have kept you waiting, but we were away for a week (during which massive progress was made!) and then, just as it looked as though it was all working out, I hit a wall again. Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees
, and once I had thought about things for a while, I realised where I was going wrong - and rectified things.
You will, I am sure
, be pleased to know that we have traced a number of living relatives of Rose Peck.
As mentioned earlier in the thread, Rose and Victor had a son, George. He passed away in 2012, leaving his wife, his son and daughter, and 3 grandchildren.
I am now in contact with one of George's grandchildren (Rose's great-grandson). He has confirmed that his grandmother, George's wife, is still alive. This is wonderful news and we are hoping that we might be able to speak to her.
I sent Rose's great-grandson a long mail yesterday, with details of our story, and am waiting for his reply.
I will, of course, let you know what happens!
Once again, I would like to thank everyone who helped in our search. At the beginning, we had so little to go on, but that didn't deter you!
ScotsAnnie did so much research back then when we didn't know where in England we should be looking. I know she said she thoroughly enjoyed it, but I felt so awful, telling her that all her hard work was in vain.
Thanks, Annie!
Then later, when we knew roughly where to look, the help came flooding in. I am particularly grateful to
chempat and
Gibel for all their hard work behind the scenes, much of which cannot be seen in this thread. You are wonderful!
Now all we need to do is keep our fingers crossed that the living relatives find our story touching and are willing to share whatever they know about Emil and Gustav's time in England. In the meantime, Birgit has started putting together a letter to the family.
Thanks again,
Karen
