Hi Peeps,
I am Raven. I live on the North East Coast of Scotland near to Aberdeen. I was brought up on the West Coast of Scotland in the County of Ayrshire. My OH and I have lived in Glasgow, Aberdeen and North Wales before returning to the North East of Scotland. I started my interest in Family History about 3 years ago. This was due to my elder sister who showed me the German side of my family through a paper trail left by my Oma (Gran). Since then I have rustled the leaves and added branches to my tree.
This is my Grandfather Frans Adolf Koehler(1901). His line has been traced back to August Freidrich Wilhelm Kohler (1820) who was born in Koningsberg East Prussia.
This is his brother Freidrich Hermann Kohler(1904) who became my mother's stepfather after the death of his brother Frans.
My grandmother (Oma) Anna Marthe Supplie (1902). In this photo with her is her son Wolfgang.
Born in Ragnit, East Prussia and lived with her family there during WW2. In Jan 1945 inhabitants of the town were expelled to Germany, after being taken over by the Soviet 3rd Belarussian Front. After the break up of the Soviet Union it became part of Russia and was renamed Neman. This town is now part of the Kaliningrad Oblast in Russia.
