Hello all
I am happy to have been admitted to this group. My name is Karin Perrin, ne=
e Hellmann, and I have become increasingly interested in the history of my =
family as years have gone by. I was born to a Jewish family in Bucharest af=
ter the Second World War. My family managed to emigrate in 1949, a story in=
itself, and I now live in London, married to an Englishman.
My mother, nee Hermine Fuhrmann, was born in Czernowitz in 1913 and wrote h=
er memoirs in the 1990s, in German. Her grandfather was a Schachter, her g=
randmother a Kahlenberg - it seems her grandmother did not take her husband=
's name and therefore my maternal grandmother was also a Kahlenberg prior t=
o her marriage at 16. My mother's father was Wilhelm Fuhrmann. Although I =
read the memoirs at the time, my life was too busy with other matters to do=
much about them. However, since my retirement just over a year ago I have =
re-read them and decided that I would like to translate them into English, =
in particular so my daughter and grandchildren can learn more about their a=
ncestry. In the course of doing this I realised that it would be much more=
interesting if I added photographs, maps, etc.. I am scanning in the few p=
hotos I have of my family, as obviously most have been lost. This led to an=
internet search for more information, and I came across more photos of the=
period and discovered your organisation. So far there are 21 typed A4 page=
s with various illustrations as well as comments of my own.
It would be good to know more about the area, the periods before WWI and be=
tween the wars, the lives of those living there, and if perchance there are=
any distant relatives in this group. So I will write again soon with names=
of other family members. It may be that I have information that others mi=
ght find useful.
In the meantime, I look forward to any responses.
Karin
