My grandmother was married to David Falk from Malsch, Germany. His sisters were Hermine and Sara. His brothers Bert and Ernest. There were others but i do not remember meeting them, His mother was Rosa. We are unsure of his fathers name, He came to this country in 1909, became a naturalized citizen and even registered for "the old man's draft" in WWII. He married my grandmother in 1950 or 1951, having never previously married or had children, I will always fondly remember him as my grandfather, even though not by blood. He passed away in May of 1971. If you have any further information, I would love it. I have photos and may even have one someone of Aunt Sara (who was deaf) and Aunt Hermine, There is a wonderful story about Aunt Sara and how Grandpa managed to get her to the US. Grandpa David also sponsored many, many people to come to the US, as well as financing and sponsoring many Jews from Malsch to come here as the Nazis closed in during WWII.
