dedehansen Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi Chris, unusual name http://www.verwandt.de/karten/absolut/blumenhain.html Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Boonzaier Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 I find a single German soldier named Blumenhain anywhere on ancestry or the list of soldiers killed and wounded... Berthold Blumenhain. He was also apparently deported in WW2 as a Jew and killed hear Riga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an EK Document to a Kriegsfreiwilliger Blumenhain, no first name. a Berthold Blumenhain from Berlin was wounded in 1918, and deported and murdered in 1941. The document is III A.K., from Berlin. Ancestry shown a single Blumenhain family in Berlin, the father born about 1859, dying 1905. I am going to go out on a limb here and say my document is probably to Berthold Blumenhain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Boonzaier Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi Andreas, I think the Verwandt site has picked up a querschläger, I don't find a real Person with the name in Germany. There is a florist, a bed and breakfast, an oldage home, all using the Blumenhain as 2Flower grove"... but no telefone number for a Person ? :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
