this can occur even more often times that you get answer in german!

Believe me carinthiangirl, the reply to my request was sent at 0700 german time, quite impressive, as I sent my email at 0300 europe time. That would never happen in the UK or Aus (only on previous enquires from myself). I will scan my passport and see what comes back. I requested quite a lot, but as soon as I get an answer, I will let you know. I sent them my grandmothers Birth Cert. and asked if they could shed some light on the religon.
Still, so impressed about the speed of the response to my enquiry.
Passport will be scanned in Australia, Monday early morning,on the   Thanks for your help,
John

Hi John,

I've been looking at the 1914 Kiel address book again and noticed the following:

Meyer
Bruno K. Th., Dreher, Buchholtzstr. 55  (presumably Bruno Karl-Theodor, turner, Buchholtzstr.55)

Bruno was not such a usual name at that time, not like Karl or Friedrich. I'm wondering whether this Bruno could have been your Bruno's father. Of course, he would then also have been "your" Bruno a generation back!!  I think it's likely he had some connection with the family, if not Bruno's father, perhaps his uncle.

I wonder what you'll find out.
