My wife and I will be in the Black Forest in early September for 4 days. We are staying in Gengenbach. My wife's grandfather and grandmother emigrated from the black forest in the late 1920's. Years ago my wife's father (now deceased) and my wife's uncle had taken my wife's grandfather back to Germany and finally, after he died in 1993, they scattered his ashes from an 11th century tower in the town where he grew up (his last request)...a town called Huasach.
Seems as though Huasach is only about 20 minutes from Gengenbach. My wife's uncle told us that there are still relatives in Huasach...in particular, an 88 year old who is the first cousin of my wife's grandfather. I have their names but am stumped on how to find their address. We would like to contact them by letter to see if they be interested in meeting us. I don't want to appear to be too pushy....that might scare them off. Any ideas on how to go about doing this? Thanks Rick
