Hello,

My mother was born in Frankfurt, Germany in 1946. I do not know anything about her past, except that she was in an orphanage, because she does not talk about her life in Germany. She did tell me that her father left, but at a young age she could have a misconception about the situation. At the time she was born, WWII had just ended and Frankfurt was left in ruins. I have come up with many possibilities, one of which is that her father could have possibly been in the army. I would really love to know if anyone has any information about orphanages in frankfurt, or knows possible ways to find out about or contact them. Any other information would be genuinely appreciated. Finding out this information means learning about my grandparents and/or relatives who may possibly be living. THANK YOU.

Also, my mother's surname is Knobe.
