Thanks to all that responded to my email for help, and special thanks to Dietmar Hiller, who was able to locate a relative of the person named on the back of my picture.

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.

I   have been finding in my research that a LOT of the eastern Germans who did not   go to the Americas following the World Wars went to Nordhein-Westfalen. I have   numerous examples.

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.
