Following the family correspondence

August’s letters offer a starting point for learning about the siblings’ lives in Germany. As the handwriting and names are checked, references to this family can be connected with the right person.

The correspondence below adds dated glimpses of this life. Uncertain names and relationships remain marked rather than treated as established facts.

What this page is based on

Name and sibling relationship supplied by the family in September 2026. The linked letter pages provide the documentary readings and distinguish direct statements from family identifications.

In the family’s own words

Following Ernst carefully

Ernst belongs to the sibling group supplied by the family. A marginal greeting in Letter 3 appears to name him. Other uncertain names must not be assigned to him automatically: Friedrich’s son in Letter 12 is preferably read Eduard.

No place can yet be plotted with a sufficiently supported date and location. Places will appear here as those details are confirmed.

Only sibling identification and uncertain correspondence references are established. No dated birth or residence location can safely be assigned; do not substitute Friedrich’s son Eduard or the unnamed Nordhausen brother.
