Dear Joan I was touched to hear news of your Bill. I do not know why the families lost contact. My mother had an address in her 1933 address book for his father Elias Friedland. I think they must have had some money because he came to Europe twice 1927 and then 1928 and he had also sent money for my uncle Fima (Haim) who I think was his nephew, to train as an electrical engineer when our family was living in Berlin. My mother remembers meeting Elias when she was 14 years old, but now my mother is 98 and has dementia so I cannot ask her about the past. She and Bill would have been first cousins. My mother went to the States on a special offer cheap cruise in 1939 with my father but they were really very poor. I am sure she would have seen Elias if she could but maybe he had died by then. He would have been 71 by then. Or maybe she did see him but just never told us about it? My mother's brother was also called Sigmund. He was born in 1905 I think. I would love to see any photos when you might have time to put up on this site. all the best Anna
