Looking for material:
I am planning to make a CDROM about Torschau. I do not want to make money out of it, just cover my costs. I have already more than 7.000 persons in my database. Nevertheless I need more material to fill my gaps. I appreciate any new material in any form! Of course you will be cited as the author of your source. And of course I am pleased to share what I already have. My email address is Peter-Haas@gmx.at
Thank you!
