Can you please help me trace my family ? I have record my Grandfather Johannes Blosinger was Mayer of Damstadt Germany 2ce and his son once in 1600’s he also kept a diary which is supposed to be in a museum, I need to prove my Jewishness to make Aliyah , and perhaps the diary can help know more. I have more information if you can help. Please.
Thank you Denise Blessinger (Blosinger )
