Dorothy,

Can you tell the rootsweb people to e-mail me at ,
rather than directly e-mailing either Achim Meintgens or Rolf Klostermann,
because I do not want the new contacts bombarded with requests.

I will promise to get back to people and try to help them. This
relationship with Rolf Klostermann is brand new and I do not know how
receptive he is to inquiries.

Once you become a friend of a German you are a friend for life, and I must
first become his friend. If things materialize, I plan to visit and learn
of my ancestry and roots.

Sincerely,

Frank Klostermann

If you also have ancestors from Westkirchen, and if you would like more
info, his email below tells his story. If you want to know more from Frank,
just send him an email, he'd love to tell you about excited he is. It could
very well work for other villages, too.
