So this is where I can write notes. This is a test. I am writing the first notes in May 1994. I really do not have a whole lot of information about Elsa's father. I tried several times during 1982 - 1994 to get some from her halfsister Anneliese, but was not succesfull. There ought to be some in the letters written to Elsa during the second world war and in the brief typewritten Behrens family history that I also have. I need to catalog these documents so that I can refer to them in a more precise manner. There is also a picture in Elsa's framed family photo collage. I remember having been told that Elsa's father was working for a worker's union and also in the garment trade. He lived and worked in northern Germany.
