[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] RES: TOM from Lublin Poland coming from Canada

[Eduardo Kommers]

Yes, exactly.

I heard about old generations trying to find their lost brothers, parents or sons. Difficult times! Sometimes they needed to travel to somewhere closed where they originally came from to (perhaps) find a brother, a sister, father or mother. And we are going to see sometimes an immigrant (the same one) with 2 or 3 register/records in the ports, showing that they tried to find someone lost in Europe.

My great-great-grandfather got back to Germany (after 30 years in Brazil) to find his sons then he came back to Brazil, where he died. Actually, we don’t know if he met them in fact. Was a long story with his first family…

>Your link cannot be viewed unless you are at a FHC presumabely. The Lublin database shows an Adolf Tomm born 1906 in Malinowka (near Chelm - not the larger one near Brzeziny) so this must be him. He was 49 in 1955. So he survived the war, was able to make it to West Germany, and like many others looked to the Americas for new opportunity because he no longer had a farm. Many of us here in US and Canada have this same story in our heritage.
