This is a shot in the dark but I thought I would give it a whirl.
Is there any way of tracing the Lehman family in Madrid 1958? They had three daughters Ursula, Barbara and Lucy and lived in Calle del Principe.
Thank you

If the family were alive in 1958 could they still be living? We can't post details of anyone who might still be alive.

Apologies for not getting back to you sooner ... your reply reached my email inbox but has never shown up on my 'in Messages' with Rootschat and what with one thing and another it slipped my memory.
You are absolutely right in what you say but the parents would be long dead but I had hoped to trace the daughters ... I have written to the main Madrid newspaper but no reply so far. Would you have a suggestion, please?

The daughters are probably married so would have a different surname and they are the ones you are trying to trace. I have asked the moderator to remove their christian names from your post to protect their privacy in the event they are still living.
Ancestry throws up a marriage match under US.newspapers.com to somebody matching daughter B but no way of knowing if it's the same person - you need a Worldwide sub to view
What is your connection to the family?

I was at school in France with the two eldest daughters who lived in Madrid. I was invited to spend a really special Christmas with the whole family in Madrid in I think 1958.

In that case social media might be the answer. Perhaps track down school reunion of Facebook website to ask if anyone is in touch with the sisters or knows anything more recent about them. If you are friends with any mutual friends already reach out to them as well.
Then try Google or similar search engine (using Spanish version of Google might throw up more matches). Also, don't forget about Family Search- if any of them did move to the U.S. and is deceased you might find them in their records (especially the U.S. Social Security ones).
