I spoke to a Wilhelm Ninnemann when I was in Germany this past summer.He and his sister had fled Klein Raddow with many others and found safety in Medelby, Germany where they still reside. He was 92 and has since died but he told me that in 1945 most of the three small villages were somehow related but even then people no longer remembered how.It was Ninnemanns marrying Ninnemanns but probably third or fourth cousins or even farther.Occasionally I have found second cousins.It was like Andersons or Johnsons in the USA.In that part of Pommern it was a very common name.As you can tell I found it curious as well but was fortunate enough to find someone to answer my questions.
