Hello
Wilhelm Ude was born in 1899 to Paul Wilhelm Theodor Ude 1863-1909 of Nuemunster Schleswig-Holstein and Anna Lebender 1869-1958 of Egloffstein Bavaria, who had both previously immigrated to New York City, where they married in 1894 and had two sons, Karl and Herman who were born in 1895 and 1896. Some time after 1896 they returned to Germany where Wilhelm was born. By 1901 the family had moved to Wales where a further four children were born, August and Eugenie, Louis and Louisa.
Karl and Herman were interned in 1916, and although eborn in the USA were deported to Gemany where they remained for the rest of their lives. In 1940 Wilhelm was interned in London, at that time he said that his place of birth was Uackendorf, birth date 16 Feb 1899 and that was written on his internees registration card. I thought that possibly the place could be Wakendorf but after contacting all the registrars around that area I could find no births .
His family records show that the all of Theodors Ude family were recorded as being born, married, died in the Pinneberg, Bullhausen, Nuemunster, Wakendorf, Himbergen area. Uckendorf was suggested as a birthplace but it seemed a long way away from any of those places so, this is why I presumed Wilhelm was not born at Uckendorf. I have not searched that area yet. Annas family were from Egloffstein Bavaria but I can find no baptism for Wilhelm there either.
Thanks
