Ahoi! Captain of the ocean and the tiki tribe. Let´s set sail!
Wow, I have just read this thread and totaly chach from adventure feelings.
You have a realy interesting family history and it´s geat that your sister search for it.
So, it will be keep alive for your offspring.

I remember when I visited some years ago my dads birthplace in Berlin.
A big old house with many barns and a fruit orchard.
All my paternal ancestors lifed there. My grandmother and grandaunt had an store for housewares there
and my great-grandfather a garage where he worked for a barrel-maker.

So there lifed a lots of people in that house and nobody has chuck out anything.
They keep all the old furniture, dinnerware, clothes.... at the attic.
The house was full of history and I could find a lots of interesting things.
Such as I found a place in the eerie basement were I saw a broken open second wall.
They conceal their valuables behind the second wall between the war. It looked like it was yesterday.
Very depressing!

Sadly, the most of my older ancestors are already dead and so it´s hard for me to find out more.

O.K. that´s enough! I´ll watch the pics of the MS Desdemona again.
Oh captain, Sir, let´s refloat the ship and start a tiki pirate trip over the world!

Moin, Moin,

Kai
