Hi. My name is Ian Kahn. My Grandfather, Fred Kahn fled Germany to New York from Mittelsinn during WWII though I'm not sure exactly when. He died in 1998. I don't know much at all about Mittelsinn or his relatives other than he had a brother named Joseph. Any information would be really appreciated. Sorry if I can't provide much or if this is the wrong place to ask such a question.
Hi Ian,
it exactly is the right place to ask this question.
I don't no much about Mittelsinn and the region because for me it lies "opposit the road". I live in Northern Germany and those places are eight hours away by train.
But what I know is: your grandfather's name might be shortened in
New York. The names :Siegfried, Friedrich, Manfred,Alfred, Fritz
are called Fred and .... etc. were shortened to Fred.
I'm sure you've a birthdate and then you can find nearly everybody and his family because you still have to be registered is this country as soon you are born
