German SIG #Germany FORELL of Glatz, Silesia; Holleschau, Moravia and Vienna #germany

I am often in quandary when it comes to cross-SIG postings, but when I
researched this FORELL tombstone in Holleschau, Moravia: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cam37/1845370456/ I found it was a rare name and mercifully there were few holocaust victims listed on Yad Vashem. I have added links under the tombstone picture. I checked the FTJP and JGFF and message archives and found four Ger-SIG messages in 1998-2001 >from Vivian Salama about her Glatz/Klodzko {Silesian} FORELL relatives. They are obviously the ones listed in the FTJP and JGFF. re Glatz/Klodzko: there was obviously a pretty close relationship with Bohemia noted here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_Glatz Moravia is not mentioned, but I think we can assume Moravia also came into the picture. I do wonder now if this Moravian family came >from Silesia or perhaps the Silesian family came >from Moravia? Migration between the two territories was quite common. If anyone can decipher the Hebrew on the tombstone, we might learn more. Eleven years may be a long time to wait for a link, but perhaps, at last, here is a clue, however tenuous, for Vivian [btw I am not related!]. Celia Male - London U.K celiamale@... |
