I have been reading the posts and deciced to add some information about my family as well.
I was born in Landstuhl, W. Germany in 1960.
My father's name is William Herman Illgen. He was born in Ardsley, PA on 9 June 1935 and, while stationed in Germany married Friederike Theresia Voxbrunner on 25 Oct 1958. She was born in Traunstein, W. Germany on 28 April 1938. My father passed away in 1978. My mother's whereabouts is unknown.
My paternal grandfather was Paul Herman Illgen who was born in Germany in 1902 and came to the U.S. in 1928 with his wife.
To the best of my recollection, he had a brother named either Walter or Wallace (This brother had a son named Wallace who lived in Gibsonton, FL). My grandfather passed away in 1983.
My father had a brother, Paul, and a sister, Mary Ann. Paul passed away in 1983 and I don't know Mary Ann's married name, but she is still alive.
I can provide additional information, if needed. From what I've seen so far, it looks like we all came from the same part of Germany at one time or another. It's a small world, isn't it?
