Someone has got to contact him. After this time some closure would be a blessing, particularly if he didn't know and waited for her for ages.

I say yes, write or ring. By the age of 86 everyone has had their fair share of hardships and traumas. And if this is the right Henry we certainly know he has. Your letter/call will surely be one of the nicer things that will have happened to him. Victoria

Maybe! it might be a good idea for the Newspaper to ring Heinz, to check if it is him or not, it might come better from a Newspaper, if you know what I mean.....As soon as I first read this thread, I knew that suitcase wanted to go home lol......Lilly

also shown at his address is a Howard Boley b 1956 and a Karen b1955 might be his children or perhaps his son and wife.!

What a shame he doesn't have an email address. It will take ages to hear back from him. This is an absolutely fascinating story. I wonder if he knew what happened to Herta. Imagine if he didn't know and has wondered all these years and finds out now. Keep up the good work. Toni

Hi Carol Was just about to start drafting a short letter to him. Was going to post it on here before sending so you can let me know if it sounds ok. Unless you think we should hand it over to the Lambeth researchers to continue on with - maybe they would even telephone him. Let me know what you think we should do. He's quite an elderly man now so I wouldn't want to be giving him any major shocks.

Hi Athena perhaps we should write and ask if he had a friend Julius Weinberg and if he ever knew Herta, perhaps then we could tell him of the suitcase being found after 60years and the story in the paper. What do you all think. Carol

Wow Athena, I`d say yes write to him, he can be ruled out then if it isnt him

Having just read on here that another name for HEINZ is HENRY, I decided to go back to the US White Pages for another search. Well, I don't want to get too excited because this could just be a total coincidence, but I found this chap: Boley, Henry J 801 W 181 St MANHATTAN, NY 10033 Then I clicked on the tab that said 'More information on Henry J Boley' and found this: HENRY J BOLEY 86 NEW YORK NY So - he's an 86 yr old chap living in Manhattan New York. This would mean he was born c1920. Ok - what do you all think - should I be really brave and write to him? I'd have to be ever so tactful. Nerves are rattling me now!

Just looked on ancestrys community board under Boley to see if they may have been relatives on there, only one with a german connection, born in germany 1868 then went to America. Hertas surname wasnt listed so i typed it in and came up with a list of 12 loebensteins there was one Alois loebenstein who, according to his Cert. of Citizenship, was born Germany on Oct. 12 1865 or 68 (writing is unclear). The Cert. was issued by Cuyahoga County. wherever that is

What an interesting story. You really are a clever bunch. I hope someone buys her death cert to find out what happened to her.

I noticed that Heather is going to email Southward record Office about this, good idea Heather, if you hear anything back from then, I am more than happy to pop over there, and copy anything that may be of help.........and forward to you guys of course lol.....Lilly..ps just noticed Jim'a reply that looks quite interesting Mmm.

well done Jim, isnt heinz another name for Henry? ive tried looking on the american census and BMD but my debit card hasnt cleared yet so cant get any info grrrrrr

Ive been folowing this thread and it amazes me how many people found out info that the archives couldnt, well done, does anyone know what nationality heinz`s friend was? maybe he could be traced

I suppose we have to be a bit careful here, raking up old memories and such??

What about a letter to the editor of one of the large US papers. Most are online.

If anyone has time and Ancestry.com can we try to look for Heinz Boley he would be about 86 years, he was born about 1920.

Just joining in here, so they don't forget me when they dish out the free year subscription!!!!...............even though I've done nothing to help with this search!! Hope we find someone who knows Heinz.....Maybe he is still alive? Well done everyone! Merry
