Lucky you! My great grandfather worked for a Cologne battery company in the 1890s and worked as a sales and technical rep in Germany, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland. He was assigned to the eastern outpost of Danzig and arrived there May 1, 1899 as a district manager for the battery company. He started his own battery company there which was the only one in Danzig. They lived in the Langführ district until they were evicted in 1945.

I really want to do a family genealogy tour and visit Gdansk. Our old family home is still standing there. My daughter visited there in February 2007 and saw the house!

What took you there? A pleasure trip?
