Hi Tim,
Thanks a lot for answering so quickly!
My grandfather (my fathers father) Karl Georg Taraks was born in 1895 in Memel(which was then Germany) and moved to Dortmund to Dortmund when he was still a child.
I think I recall an old document with the spelling of "Tarracks" or "Taracks" which was later corrected to "Taraks". As far as I know, the name is very very rare in Germany and there are only two families with this name. Therefore it might well be that your and my family are related - maybe our ancestors were cousins?
Does your Grandmother know more about this?
Thanks a lot for your help.
I am looking forward to hearing from you again.
Yours,
Silke Taraks
