Fediverse, can you please help me?
In family matters, I'm searching for Edward J. Garth.

Most likely US soldier stationed in Germany at the end of / after WWII.
Picture taken by a Wiesbaden photo studio, unknown date. Signature: "Will You Remember Edward J Garth".

Does anyone know this man? His heritage? His relatives?

Any hint, any boost (esp. to US), any forwarding to helpful people is highly appreciated. DM me anytime!

Thank you folks ️

@azett have you tried using a skip tracer to find him?

@azett maybe someone here in the US has an ancestry.(com) account and can do a search. They have an amazing and scary database of people and relationships. I think a friend has one, but he is in Germany right now. #ancestry #geneology
