Im tearing my hair out here. I have posted a while ago but i haven't got anywhere unfortunately.
I am trying to research family members of Waldemar Anton August Vogeley born 11 Sep 1902 Rendsburg Schlesswig-Holstein. Died 19 Jan 1994 Itzehoe Germany. This is my husband's grandfather. I believe the name was Vogelei to begin with and it was changed. I don't know if this was because he was a socialist or a communist and was taken to the concentration camps by the Nazi's. Maybe he decided to change it after that. He was married to KAthe Schultz and had a daughter Herta Minna. I would like to find her brothers if possible and also Waldemar's parents names. There were at least three brothers. One was Archie (don't know how that would have been spelt over there), one was Artur and the other i have no idea of his name. One committed suicide and another died in a motor vehicle accident. I believe Archie was the surviving one.
He has a daughter called Angelica.
I have searched on ancestry and all i get is those who went off to the states which is not this family.
There was also one piece of info on the internet about Waldemar being a socialist. Apart from that i have nothing to go on and haven't had any luck contacting organisations in Itzehoe either.
I think this line is going to be given up on my searching soon as not being able to speak german is definitely holding me back.
I would appreciate any help anyone could give me.
Hope i have posted this in the correct place.
Thanks
Sally
