My mother passed away recently and I am going through her old photographs.
She was born in 1934 in Vienna Austria to Joseph and Ottilie Kretschmayer. Her mother's maiden name was Aicher and I am working on starting our Aicher family tree for my young son.
Ottilie had at least one brother - Ignaz. I have many photos of him. I should be able to find more information as I go through Mom's paperwork - she wrote quite a bit down for me, but the photos are marked in German, as is all of her paperwork from overseas.
I cannot read/speak German (a promise I made to Mom and her father - who passed away in November) was that I would learn! The only German speaking relative now living in the states is
If anyone has any information on Ottilie, Ignaz or the family, please let me know.
Mom married my father who was in the Air Force and came to America with him in the mid 1950s. My grandparents divorced after WWII - so while I do have some contact with the Kretschmayer side, I have no contacts on the Aicher side.
