    Dear Mr. Arakelyan,
    I'm the great-grandson of Adolf Loeltgen. If you want to come in contact with me, please just let me know.
    All the best,

      Dear Mr. Sonnemann,
      My name is Tomas Brojir, I live in Hejnice in the Liberec Region (Czech Republic) and I would like to ask you for help in finding the descendants of one important resident (genus) from Hejnice.
      Local enthusiast historian Milan Votava got the idea to "adopt" old graves, which no one goes to and take care of them, so that these residents Hejnice remember. I liked the idea a lot and so I adopted the grave of Maximilian Hitschmann and his wife Eleonora. Since Maximilian was an important citizen of Hejnic, a merchant, distiller, co-founder of a local fire brigade, I decided to start searching for his offspring, the peak of my effort would be to find and contact the living descendants of Maximilian. Unfortunately, I found that, given the Jewish faith, the fate of most of his descendants during WWII was very sad.
      I found out that his granddaughter Elisabeth (Alzbeta) Loeltgen (born Schulhof 1890-1943) was the wife of your great-grandfather and they had a daughter Lillebit born in 1917.
      May I ask if Lillebit was your grandmother?
      I'd love to find living descendants of Maximilian Hitschmann.
      Regards
      Tomas Brojir
