"Your [Eric Krause's] grandmother [Maria Mietz Kornelsen (May 5, 1900 - April 2, 1991) [Mariechen] is not in the picture, nor Tante Lensch [Helena Kornelsen [Lena] (June 17, 1901 -], but the rest are there. Your grandmother Mary Krause [Maria Mietz Kornelsen (May 5, 1900 - April 2, 1991)] had some half sisters and a half brother who stayed behind in Russia because their father [Heinrich Kornelsen (April 17, 1876 - 1947)] (my grandfather, your great grandfather) had a problem with his eyes and was not allowed to leave Russia. Tante Liesa [Elisabeth Reger (nee Kornelsen)] is still alive living in Germany with her granddaughter. She has had a stroke and is bedridden. She actually visited Leamington in 1988 and met my Dad [Henry Kornelsen], your grandmother [Maria Mietz Kornelsen (May 5, 1900 - April 2, 1991) and lots of other relatives. My father [Henry Kornelsen] encouraged her to write down how it was after the rest of the family left Russia, and after my trip this summer I asked a friend [Ella Pankatz ] if she would translate it. The document is a result of that translation ...." - Margreta (Kornelsen) Gronski

--------------------------------

"As you know Tante Liesa came to Canada in 1988 to see my Dad, your Grandma and Tante Lensch Neufeld, her half siblings. I met her at the airport and drove her to Leamington where I got to know her and she me. A few years later Tante Liesa's great granddaughter Eugenia wrote to Stan and I and asked if she could come to Canada to improve her English. I explained the rules about working here and she decided not to come. In 2007 I decided to go and visit Tante Liesa. I stayed with her daughter Katja and met a lot of my cousins there. In 2017 Eugenia and her mother Nellie (daughter of Alfred) came to Canada for a visit and I drove them around to places they wanted to see. Since then we what'sapp quite often and we've visited them all in Germany."
