Dear Mr

I have a strange question to you:

My name is ..., my grandfatherâ€™s name was Erich and his fatherâ€™s name was Eugen. I know that Eugenâ€™s brother and sister were A. and O., migrated to the USA and they played in a US army band. The name of O.â€™s son was O.Jr.

Now my question: Are you O.Jr. by any chance?

I would be very happy if I found my grandfatherâ€™s relatives.

If you are not the above-mentioned O. I apologize for the disturbance.

Yours faithfully
