Hi Shirley,

I have not shown the picture of the Pokrant's yet...I have asked my father and 
his sister about them.  His sister Martha is older and remembers the family 
saying they were not originally from Mydzk but came sometime in the early 
30's.  She thinks they may have been the ones that bought property from Rudolf 
Daher and owned a windmill.

She thinks that Emil Brenner was dating a Pokrant girl--I think Emil's family 
is on this list.  Her cousin Hulda in Germany might also have more information 
however I will need to figure out how to contact her.

I have the picture on my list and as I come into contact with other family 
members, I will ask.
