Dear Cassandra,I have spent almost eighteen years in Germany, mostly with the US Army.I have also served
several missions in Salt Lake City, and an eighteen month
mission on a mission with my wife to work in the microfilm
ordring Center near Frankfurt A/M, Germany (1988-1989).
Subsequent to the end of WW II, the official records of
Pommerania or Pommern disappeared.The general consensus
among German genealogists is that no public official, after
working diligently to compile the official records, would
ever dream of abandoning his records, and probably either
buried the records or took them along when they fled from
the approaching Red Army.I too have relatives who lived
in Pommerania, and for whom I anxiously await discovery
of those records with which I can compile their genealogy.
