Over Christmas this obituary for GERTRUDE ELFRIEDE MANTEI (new BIRKHOLZ) was in the Toronto Star. My mother was an acquaintance through her own friend, OLGA LITKE . The Mantei and Litke families are also from Wolhynia and came after the War (as did mine).
There is a distant Mantei connection in my family, but they are related to Brenners and Baiers in Benton Harbor, Michigan who immigrated there ca. 1903-05. I have not been able to make a connection to this family, but then, the connection is pretty distant. Maybe this ERNST MANTEI and his wife, GERTRUD ELFRIEDE BIRKHOLZ are related to someone in the group.
