Of their mother Emma Pauline and step-sister Emma Matilde, we know they relocated at least twice, likely due to changing borders after WW1 and WW2:
1910 - 1914 ? Kolmar, Posen, Prussia now Chodiez, Poland
We have photo postcards of both in front of "their shop" [1]
Emma Matilde married in 1913 and daughter born in 1914 -- in Kolmar? [2]
1929 - 1938 Rugenwalde, Pommern now Darlowo, Poland
Emma Matilde's daughter Christa confirmed in 1929, and married in 1936 [3]
Emma Pauline living with Emma Matilde and husband in 1938 [4]
1953 - 1958 Lichtenfels, Bavaria
One of Emma Louise's children visits from New York in 1953 [5]
Emma Matilde dies in 1958 -- in Lichtenfelds? [6]
We do not know if Emma Matilde's daughter Christa PELCHEN WINKEL had any children; online searches have not turned up anyone with surname Winkel in that area today.
