I'm tracing my family roots and it seems my branch came to Poland at some point towards the end of XVIII-early XIX century. If anyone has any news, stories, whatever, about Lau family members that moved to Poland or Eastern Prussia, I will be grateful.

Despite the fiery crash, most passengers survived. The confluence of the mysterious disaster and the start of German National Socialist Party domination of Germany provide an interesting insight, into the history of the twentieth century.<br /><br />The four course dinner will be served by the “Singing Airmen” (Luftschiff Besatzung Sängers) from our Männerchor and their earnings and tips will go toward the fund for the Männerchor singing tour through Europe.<br /><br />Please make your reservations (REQUIRED) for this interesting and delicious dinner (a children’s dinner is also available) for Saturday, August 23 2014 at http://www.pghmannerchor.com/event-reservation-scheduler or (412) 231-9141.Alexander Lauhttps://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=3877230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812058365408775514.post-88862527120249430842014-05-08T13:16:37.058-05:002014-05-08T13:16:37.058-05:00Hi Alexander,

That's great to hear. <br /><br />I would love to learn more about him from you, if you have some memories of him or stories of his life that you'd like to share with me. I only know what I've read about him in a few books and documents.<br /><br />Thanks for posting, and I'm very glad you like the article I wrote on your grandfather.<br /><br />Herzliche Wünschen aus Chicago!<br /><br />Patrick<br /><br />Rumi68@gmail.comPatrick Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690842509026070505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7812058365408775514.post-71673312476887231812009-06-08T14:27:09.645-05:002009-06-08T14:27:09.645-05:00He was my grandpa and died in 1996 in Merzig/Germa...He was my grandpa and died in 1996 in Merzig/Germany.
