First sorry for writing in English, I can read some German, but not write.
I'm from Norway, looking for my grandmothers half sister who married Heinz Westerbeck in Wilhelmshaven, 22 May 1948.
Her name is/was Berit Rank Jensen, born 9 November 1918, Drøbak, Norway.
She did get German citizenship in 1944 and moved to Germany. She then lived with a Brandt family in Ostrhauderfehn, Leer, Lower Saxony.
My grandmother could never find her half sister, and now I thought I would try to fullfill her wish, as I have found out her full name.
It might be a long shot, but at least I need to try.
I have written to the Stadtsamt in Wilhelmshaven, but they are telling me that I'm not close enough related to get any information about her.
Where do I look, and how to find her and maybe children.
Anyone that can help?
