I am looking for relatives in Poland!
My grandmother was probably born in Priom in East-Prussia, but I think this town doesn't exist anymore.
I was told Priom was near Ostroda/Osterode and Olsztyn/Allenstein.
Her full name was Martha Bertha Sowa. She was born 6th June 1902.
She left East-Prussia about 1920 and went to Stolberg, near Aachen, Germany. She worked as a waitress in the bar of the railwaystation. That is where she met my grandfather, Hermanus van Empel. He lived in Meteren, The Netherlands. They married in Stolberg. Later they moved to The Netherlands. My grandmother died in 1965.
Her father's christian name was Karl.
Names of her sisters:
-Ottilie Lehnardt (born Sowa), she went to Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
Otitilie died in Sudbury on 9th October1977.
-Frieda Mathwig (born Sowa), she went to Remscheid, Germany.
Frieda was born on 10th June 1907 and died 5th August1989.
-Auguste Sowa, she went to Rogatz a/d Elbe, Germany.
-Emilie Sowa.
