Thanks for your tantalising Email. Sadly, that's the end of the good news. I appear to have found a good deal of online information in this gentleman and (say I) the publicly accessible part of his life make for an interesting little essay/translation: but it was three years ago and (1) my memory was never THAT good and (2) it's getting worse. I seem to have been reasonably diligent about sourcing, but people tend not to clutter up infoboxes with source ref links, and I cannot now find where I found the name of Aennie. Might have been one of those genealogy websites which have a frustrating habit of coming and going a bit. Sadly (and frustratingly) none of the names involved in this instance is particularly unusual. (We used to have a family of neighbours called Bauer.)

Since you mention Hamburg, I did once, on a completely different piece of genelogical research, email the public archive department there. It was about twenty years ago, and my enquiry concerned a great x several uncle with an English name who moved to Hamburg. So it was an unusual name for HH. Which sometimes helps. Nevertheless, I did find them unexpectedly helpful. Though I guess it's always going to be a little bit down to the luck of the draw whether your enquiry gets to the screen of someone whose interest is caught by what you can tell them. Might be worth a try? But yes, it's a long shot.

I wish you every success. Be well Charles01 (talk) 14:28, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
