Dear Gertie,
I was afraid that perhaps youhad given up hearing a reply
on Bernard.
I have been lookingfor family in the Netherlands since
1992 when Bernard died.
He had 5 letters, one from Jacques and An Griese-Rijnsent
written by her in November 1988.
I tried to call their telephone and the operator said they
were no longer at that number.
A few yearslater my daughter had a teacher translate one
of the letters and every once in awhile I would try to get
a little more information about my family in the Netherlands
from translations of old letters.
In 2004 I tried to call the nursing home in Rotterdam where
Jacqus Griese and An Griese-Rijnsent had been but could not
find any information on where they were or any family they
had.
However a lady at the nursing home said to call a radio
station in Rotterdam that broadcast looking for vanished
family but they could not help me.
Every once in awhile we would try a little search then last
week my son was looking under Bernard Griese and their
YOU WERE!!!!!
When I was a little girl Bernard would go over to Holland on
a freight boat. Ever since then I have wanted to find my
family in the Netherlands. I have pictures of family I do
not know.
This is Bernards family:
His wife was Anna:
They had 3 children:
George-No children
Louise-2 children
Ernie
David
Marie-3 children "my Mother"
Barbara (ME)
Linda
Charles
Hope to hear from you soon,
Love, Barb
