Dear Michelle.
I am the father of Mark Coster from NZ and a reletive of the Brazil Tichauer's.
I don't know whether you remember but we spoke to each other about a year ago when we established that our branch of the family did not have a direct contact with yours although I am sure that if we went back a generation or so there must have been a link.
The reason I am writing is that I am visiting Bytom in Poland in 2 weeks time and would be interested in anything that your branch of the family could supply that might contribute to our visit to my mothers birth plaice.
My Grand Father was born
3rd April 1881
Konigshutte O/S (in 1939 known as Chorzow)
And in 1939 when he had to add add Isreal to his name, lived at
Beuthen Ring 26 IV (bei Koplowitz)
My sons Mark and Danny told me how much they enjoyed the reunion, it must have been an amazing event.
Look forward to hearing from you.
