Leopold Münster
Dear All,
I have just come across such a photo of Leopold Münster: https://de.metapedia.org/wiki/Datei:...C3%BCnster.jpg He seems to be wearing a wedding ring. Was he married? He was very young, he was twenty-three when he was killed, and the photo was probably taken much earlier, when he was an Unteroffizier. Thank you in advance. |

Re: Leopold Münster
Once again, I can only recommend German genealogy sites for this kind of information. Münster must be on a branch of someone's family, however remotely, and family history researchers delight in following these branches.

Re: Leopold Münster
Dear Nick,
Thank you for your anwer, but I don't think it would be possible with the current European data protection law and, moreover, Leopold Münster lived in an area that is now in the Czech Republic, so his family must have moved to some place in Germany. I was hoping that someone would have, for example, his "Verlustmeldung", because such documents contained such information. |

Re: Leopold Münster
Not necessarily true. I live in Germany and I was trying to trace my mother's family through online research and can forget it. The problem is that so many records were destroyed during the war and during the cold war.

Re: Leopold Münster
hi Theresa,
hi lived by Leopoldine Berger (his aunt) she lived in Hochheim Kreis Neutistschein in 1944 . if you like to follow the genealogy you can try to ask the HOK ( Heimatortskartei in Passau ) where she lived after 1945. regards |

Re: Leopold Münster
As I said “in principle … if they [the records] survive”. In Britain at least, there are many possible avenues: church records, wills; property ownership documents; newspaper announcements of births, deaths and marriages; census returns; burial registers; business directories and so on.

Re: Leopold Münster
Dear Ursula,
Thank you very much for your answer. If he lived by his aunt, maybe he wasn't actually married... What surprised me was the wedding ring he wears in the photo. Or maybe it's an engagement ring... I don't think I'll have the time to investigate it further. Best regards, Teresa |

Re: Leopold Münster
Dear Nick and Ssg Keay,
Thank you for your tips. I don't think I'll have the time to investigate it any further. I was just hoping someone had a document explicitly stating that he had been married or unmarried, because such documents existed. If someone had his Soldbuch or Verlustmeldung, it could be stated there. Best regards, Teresa |
