Thankyou Histres

Unfortunately we do not understand German, do any of them speak English at all?

Hello Hellhappy,
One of the Gräter's family members is able to speak a bit of English, so there should be the possibility to communicate a bit and to exchange some information. Moreover, it must be an extraordinary and sentimental feeling for you to see the house in which your forefathers were born and to get to know your relatives.
I would have liked to accompany you and do some interpreting when you are visiting the family, but unfortunanetly I will be at Hinckley in England to take part in the Halsted Trust conference " Exodus - Movement of the People" from 5th till 8th September.

Best wishes

I just want to say a public thank you to Histres for all his help in my family research, which culminated last week in me visiting the very house (mill) where my great grandmother left in the 1870's in Neuenstein.  It was awe inspiring, thrilling, wonderful . . . and something inside me now feels at peace.

Great post, and I agree 100%, a lot of us would still be searching if it wasn't for the assistance of Histres

I was updating some comments in the Wahl German Pork Butchers DBSIG this morning, and I was wondering, if in the future, there will be an option to add BMD certificates, photos, etc. Just a thought

Hi,    It seems that I am a descendent of a German Pork Butcher. John Frederick Dreher of Derby. I am visiting Derby in October and will be checking out the Silk Mill. Most of my Derby female family members worked there. My grandfather was a Gunston and lived in Eagle Street. John Dreher was his Grandfather. I'd love to know more about him.
