Mike Dwyer Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Otto,Absolutely fantastic! It is truly wonderful that you can have these documents belonging to your ancestor.
David Gregory Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 Otto,As a document collector who likes groups, congratulations on finding what you have already. However, the fact that it belongs to your family is the most important thing.The Hamburg Hanseatenkreuz document is the first one I have seen dated post-1918.Do you know of any other items that belonged to him which you are still trying to obtain?David
