Looking for information on Barsuhn family originally of Sziesze, district of Heydekrug, East Prussia. Gustav Rudolf Barsuhn was my Great Uncle and was killed on the Eastern Front of World War II on August 22, 1942. He left behind his widow and three-month-old baby who eventually immigrated to America.

Gustav Barsuhn's mother's name was Rosa Barsuhn. She and her son-in-law, Willie Mitzkus, were killed by Russian soldiers. Willie's daughter Vera Mitzkus witness the slaying of her father and grandmother. She was about 14 at the time. Vera was born on July 2, 1930 in Pagrienen, Heydekrug and died on July 29, 1997 in Rinteln, Germany.

Any information on the Barsuhn or Mitzkus families would be dearly appreciated.
