Hi all,
The Ruhr industrial area was completely rebuilt after the war, so they
had a lot of jobs to offer, and many people moved there as a result. My
own relatives from the Plock region initially settled in Schleswig Holstein,
but most of them quickly moved to Essen because that's where the jobs were.

did not go to the Americas following the World Wars went to
Nordhein-Westfalen. I have numerous examples.

Nosowiecze 1931 written on the back. Also on the back, but in very different
ink and handwriting is: Pauline Betker, Westfalen, Nr. 14, Westfalen,
Kreis Herford. My mother and father lived in Nosowiecze at this time and until
1940 when they resettled to western Poland. My two older brothers were born
in Nosowiecze and although my mother's maiden name was Betker I have been
unable to make a connection with Pauline Betker in our family history.
Although the information following Pauline Betker appears to be an address, I
have had no luck finding such an address in Germany. Any suggestions would
be appreciated.
