I am looking for a relative (Lotta) Charlotte, who fled to Braunschweig from Golm, Potsdam in the end of December 1945.
Where can I look to find her in Braunschweig.
Her mother Gerda writes in a letter dated 26/5 1943:
My daughter Lotta marries and has a child. Lotta, her child and husband staying with me here in Golm.
In a letter December 1, 1945 the mother writes:
The Russians got 20 direct hits by artillery at our house so it is completely destroyed, it is only one room left which we can live in. Most people have fled from Golm. Lotta fled with their child through Brandenburg to the English zone in Braunschweig, West Germany. Her husband stays with me in the house in Golm.
When the letter was translated to me, it is the first time I hear of her daughter Lotta (probably named Charlotta). She is not mentioned in any other letter or document, only in mother Gerda's two letters.
Her mother was Gerda Catharina Loise Paula Nilsson, born April 19, 1896 in Berlin- Charlottenburg.
1919 Gerda engaged with cinematographer Max Filipsson.
Gerda marries Georg Düring 1921, divorce George 1930
Gerdas parents were Hjalmar and Paula Nilsson.
Charlotte's family name might be Düring or Nilsson, it can even be Filipson. Charlotte is probably born around 1920 - 25
Very grateful for help
