All,
I would like to welcome Herbert Hoffmann to our list. He is the individual
that hosts the German Franzfeld web site that is attempting to reconstruct
the birth/marriage/death records for various German settlements in Bosnia
& Yugoslavia. Most of the records were lost during WWII.
http://www.tx21.de/
He has some info about Katherine and Friedrick Hoffmann and their infant
son Martin.
Here is a translation of an email he sent to Lilien Vogl along with my
answers. Be
mindful, Herbert doesn't speak English. We have been using Google Translate to
communicate. Herbert also has a DNA kit in processing, so expect a hit from him
soon.
**************************
Good morning Lily,
I have now registered in the new Franzfeld list, have also received the reply
mail with code number.
I have seen the archives, including your entries - as far as I understood
everything.
I have the following questions:
1) What is the email address for the list?
hoffmanfamily@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:hoffmanfamily@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
2) Is there a directory with all mail addresses of the list members?
No, there is no directory, but here they are:

3) Is there a "profile" of list members? Names / Places / Sources?
There is no profile for each member.
I think everyone should take a few minutes and write a brief profile
and post it to this list. I will collect them and redistribute them
if needed. This way any new members can get up to speed quickly.
4) Is it common for every new member to introduce themselves in an e-mail?
Should I do that?
many Greetings,
Herbert
*********************************
Also, I have identified two DNA matches that I sure is also on my moms side
via Katherine Brausch. They have lots of Brausch's in there tree including Auny
Katherines brothers but not Katherine. Strange. I have attempted to contact
them, but no response yet.
More in to come,
Tom
