Hi Bob You don't have a hope for an older, after WW II address book. State secret, You could not even get a telephone book. Mind you 95 % of the people did not have a phone anyway and they one's who had one would not talk to you because they most likely worked for the government in an elevated capacity and could not afford to talk to western spies without loosing their job. ALL telephone conversation to the west were monitored. My brother-in-law, living in formerly east Germany and being a medical doctor had the luxury of a phone. It took several years and only after one of the Big Shots got into a medical emergency that he got one.
Today a phone book would exist. Try google and see.

Hi Bob G�nter Mauter answered that in his 3 address books he found the name of Clemens Lachowski, Railroad Engineer listed at the Holl�nder Chaussee for the years 1892, 1894, and 1900. The 1908 book does not show him anymore Greetings from Elmshorn G�nter Mauter Holl�nder means Dutch but is a name and has nothing do with the origin of Clemens L My 1945 map of Elbing does not show a Holl�nder Chaussee, but shows a Tannenberger Allee which I believe. is the same. Renamed after the battle of Tannenberg in 1914. At the end of the Chaussee/Allee is the Holl�nder Tor/Gate. The marshalling yard of the German Reichsbahn is located parallel to the Chaussee/Allee. A Chaussee is normally a road leading somewhere overland to a larger town in this case it is the old Reichsstra�e 130 which leads to Preu�isch Holland which would explain the name of Holl�nder Chaussee. Enough of history. Hope it helps you along. Uwe-Karsten Krickhahn Medicine Hat, Alberta Canada www.kartenmeister.com In meinen Adressb�chern konnte ich lediglich einen einzigen Lachowski finden, der allerdings in 3 Jahrg�ngen vertreten ist. Es ist Clemens Lachowski, Lokomotiv-F�hrer, Holl�nder Chaussee Jahrg�nge 1892, 1894 und 1900 1908 war er schon nicht mehr vertreten. Gr��e aus Elmshorn G�nter Mauter Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
