Hi Loumor,

It is important to use the correct spellings for the names, otherwise you will find progress is tricky.

I expect that Waultraud should be Waltraud.
Juergon should probably be Jürgen.
"Tante" is the German word for "aunt", so Margaret was known as Aunt Grata.
Gunter should probably be Günter. (I'm not advocating making cold calls, but for your information, there is a Günter Leistikow currently listed in the telephone book for Hildesheim.)

If you can't type an Umlaut on your computer, use "ue" for "ü" (Juergen, Guenter, etc.).

Best regards,
Karen
