This message is particulary addressed to Udo v. Vietinghoff-Scheel:
I am the William Vietinghoff to whom you wrote a few years ago.Yes, I wrote a short answer, and never wrote more.I still have the e-mail on my computer, but have been delaying in answering.
I also wrote, today, a response to a request from Dean William Brown who asked for information on Arthur Vietinghoff and Leonette Morris.I am related to them, and it is all explained in my response.See if you can find it.
I can probably supply you with a little more information on members of the Vietinghoff family I know.For now I will limit my answer to these words.
Yes, I am a retired aerospace engineer. When I was a small boy, I tried to draw a family tree from the information I could get from my grandmother, Philomena Vietinghoff.She told me our ancestors came from variousparts of Germany, and other nearby countries, but she couldn't be specific.She mentioned a Baron von Vietinghoff.
Your English is excellent.I wish I wrote German as well.I took technical German in college in order to read engineering reports, but I never had the need to use it.If you don't know how to say something in Engilish, write it in German and I will attempt to translate it.
Yes, I am called "Bill" which is the contraction or abbreviation for William. My e-mail address is:
"[email protected]
My address is:
388 E. Gainsborough Road
Thousand Oaks, California91360
USA
Feel free to write me.I will try harder this time to write again sooner.
