Seeking descendants of Maria GRETZINGER Dear Sir/Madam, My name is Oleg Dzyuba. I am 34. I live in Ukraine, Luhansk region, Krasnodon. I am writing to get some assistance and help in the search of descendants of Maria GRETZINGER, born Gretsinger in Bausk of Kurland province, nowadays Latvia, in the family of Johann GRETZINGER. I would like to get the bituary for Arthur Meding who died on 12 Jun 1982. (his is supposed to be among my relatives) Can you also suggest any newspaper which might have the obituary? Maria GRETZINGER's brother, Julius Johann GRETZINGER, was born 26 December, 1881 in Bausk of Kurland province (Russia). He was shot dead by Bolsheviks on Javkino station for his refusal not to join the Red Army in 1919. Mary Meding, living in the village Noimanovka, Zhitomir region (Ukraine) together with her husband left for Canada in 1921, where she bought the land and farmed. From her only letter, received by my grandmother Efrosinia Kazimirovna Gretsinger, it is known that the youngest Mary's daughter died on the steamship during their crossing the Atlanic Ocean. Mary Meding and her family were pleased with the immigration. The contact of my mother's aunt Tamara Julievna GRETZINGER with Mary Meding's was lost because of the repressions' threat for communication with abroad. The grandson of Julius Johann GRETZINGER, Igor GRETZINGER is also in search. Here is the family-tree of Johann GRETZINGER Johann GRETZINGER: Julius Maria + Efrosinia: + Mr. Meding: ______________ _______________ Tamara 6 children (?) + Foma ___________ _______ ? Seva Igor +Nina +Joanna ? _____ __________ ______ Iriny Oleg Dzyuba Anna +Vasiliy +Helen _____ _________ Seva Marina Would you kindly tell me on this address if you know anything about the destiny of Maria GRETZINGER and her alive descendants or suggest me a service or authority where we can apply for help. If you know people with the surname Meding or GRETZINGER, please let me know. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Oleg Dzyuba! e-mal: oleg.dzyuba(*)mail.ru Tel.: + 380506369319 |
