The Home that the family lived in was built by Oma. Her hard earned money paid for the home.
The home was built at 28 Bremen-Oberneuland,Werfzdornpfad 11, Germany. It still exists today
Opa was quite the business man, as mom said he could rub 2 pennies together and make a dollar.
He was into many different things. He owned several buildings,apartments etc. His family moved around doing what they could to make money. In their day they
were known as Gypsies. Opa's parents also owned a small grocery store.
In Opa's spare time he collected coins and stamps. Mom said these collections were worth at least a million at the time he was collecting. We don't know where
the collections ended up.
