[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Information Request

[Beth Burke]

I was wondering if anyone in SGGEE either lives near or has any connections
in/around Marburg, Germany.

 

When we were living in Herborn-Seelbach in the late 1980's, I was lucky
enough to meet my grandmother's sister.  Her name was Mathilde Lieske.  She
never married, had been a nurse, but was long since retired and living in a
home for elderly folk.   I remember the that the home was on the top of a
hill in Marburg.

 

We moved from Herborn-Seelbach in 1988, returned to the United States in
1990, and I never did hear from or see Mathilde again.  I know she is no
longer alive.  

 

I am wondering how I might be able to get a record of her death, obituary
from a local newspaper or even a death certificate for her.  I have also
wondered what might have happened to what little she had, specifically the
photographs, when Mathilde passed away.  I wouldn't be surprised if there
were a few boxes of the more personal possessions being stored at the home.


 

Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions that any of you might
have for me.
