[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Westfalen migration (was: Re: Nosowiecze)

[PnSWork at aol.com]

Hi all,
 
    The Ruhr industrial area was completely rebuilt  after the war, so they 
had a lot of jobs to offer, and many people moved there  as a result.  My 
own relatives from the Plock region initially settled in  Schleswig Holstein, 
but most of them quickly moved to Essen because that's where  the jobs were.

I  have been finding in my research that a LOT of the eastern Germans who 
did not  go to the Americas following the World Wars went to 
Nordhein-Westfalen. I have  numerous examples.

Nosowiecze 1931 written on the back. Also on the back,  but in very different 
ink and handwriting is: Pauline Betker, Westfalen, Nr.  14, Westfalen, 
Kreis Herford. My mother and father lived in Nosowiecze at this  time and until 
1940 when they resettled to western Poland. My two older  brothers were born 
in Nosowiecze and although my mother's maiden name was  Betker I have been 
unable to make a connection with Pauline Betker in our  family history. 
Although the information following Pauline Betker appears to  be an address, I 
have had no luck finding such an address in Germany. Any  suggestions would 
be appreciated.
