Manni,

Yes, I have seen the step-son's post and I am in the process of trying to make contact.

In regards to contacting other crew relatives, generally the e-mail addresses you can find are usually out of date. I have already had two bounce on this Cologne project, so I have found the next best thing is sending a short letter. Telephoning generally does not work. So many people here in the US get constant spam phone calls they just don't answer or they hang up. (And once they hang up on you, you have lost them forever.) A first contact by letter works better. It gives them a chance to think about it before responding, ask questions of other family members, etc. Also, if the address is wrong, the US postal service will generally return a 1st class US letter to the sender or even forward it to the correct address. They don't always do that for foreign mail.
