Hi everyone
My mothers family were German and it is her side I am attempting to research. My gm had 3 older brothers, one of the brothers died young, I don't have a death certificate for him but I do have a photo of what is supposed to be his grave, the headstone shows a death date of 1926, but my Grandmother had a news paper anouncement of his death giving 1955 in Malmo. His widow wrote that they lived in Kopenhagen
however, I cannot decifer anything else in her letter. There is no one left of the family to ask about this. Does anyone have any ideas how I can sort this confusion ?
