My mother and maternal family trekked from Koenigsberg into west germany during the world war II. My Mothers name was Sigrid Boris. She always told me her father was Hans Joachim von borris and that the family shortened the name. My grand mothers maiden name was Helga Huwe. Im at a dead end as my mother has passed and I have no info. Anyone out there with help please contact me!

The correct spelling is : von BORRIES.
Example : ttp://www.familievonborries.de/ or :
http://www.vborries.net/

You can contact the family ,they`re intersted in geneal. The pages are very interesting .Maybe you know sb speaking german to translate for you.

Good Luck !
