See the Facebook note at https://business.facebook.com/JewishGen.org/posts/ 1029059357116219 Also see “Kendler’s Orts- und Verkehrs-Lexikon Can Now Be Searched Online Free of Charge,” above. It would have been useful to have listed the city in which you are located. As the JewishGen instructions indicate at https://www.jewishgen.org/JewishGen/DiscussionGroup.htm/, under "Signature"), it is a good idea to list your location. The location information helps in pointing you toward physical repositories holding relevant information.
I do not do research for others, and my time is limited. I cannot spend more time on this issue. However, the list of publications below my name includes books, articles, online postings, online lectures, television shows, book reviews, etc. You might wish to consult the list to see if any of my publications might be of further help to you. You must have an open Google account (free) to access the URL.
I wish you success in your continuing research.
Sincerely, Edward David Luft
Juris Doctor
