In reply to Lichtwarck Guy-Pierre. Hello guy, Always fun to hear from distant relatives! My father, Ted, was the last of Joseph's children and he died almost 3 years ago. He did have 25 grandchildren. I've lost touch with some of my cousins, but Loretta is doing well. Blessings to you!

In reply to Mathew Doerflinger. Thank you for your kind words Mathew. I know my grandfather had brothers and sisters, but sadly I don't know much about them. It is likely though that Robert would have been Joseph's older brother, as I know Joseph was one of the youngest in that family. Good luck with your studies!

Hello my name is Mathew Doerflinger. My uncle Bill Doerflinger told me about Joseph a few years ago and while studying the Holocaust I decided to look him up and found this. Thank you. My Grandfather is Walter Doerflinger RIP son of Robert Doerflinger I’m not sure how they relate though. Thanks for the article it was fantastic.

In reply to Melissa Schouten. Hi Melissa, Your grandmother, Madeleine, was my father's sister. Which one of her children is your parent? I know a lot of Joseph's pics were donated to a museum. You're right that there are a lot of relatives out there. I know Joseph and Marie had about 26 grandchildren!

My name is Melissa Schouten. I am one of Joseph Doerflingers Great granddaughters. I don’t know a whole lot about my family and ancestors but seeing this I know there are more of us out there. Anyone willing to fill me I’m or has any old pictures I’d love to see them. Madeleine was my grandmother and daughter to Joseph and Marie Doerflinger.

In reply to Jean Jacques TURLOT. How nice. Did you personally know my grandfather? He did not work in aero spatial capacity. He lost his pilot license during the war and no longer worked in the field. After a remarkable life, he settled into time with his family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin until his death.

I’m a French – Alsatian Private Pilot very interested by the Story of Doerflinger which is few known in my town of Mulhouse the city where he is born. I’ve written, in french, the Story of Joseph but I don’ know what occurs after 1943. Is it right that he works in aerospatial Works ?
