Thx's Richard
So I've read the book from front to back. It was a great read and while it did not answer the question at hand it was very helpful. Many of the bits and pieces came I had came from other resources and are covered in the book. Relatives I never know I had. So the biggest thing I've learn to start with a clear mind and let the facts guild you.
The next step is to learn how to read German.
