With his second wife, he had three children; out of these, one grandchild is still alive. This grandchild is the cousin of our deceased. After extensive research, we managed to find the declaration of death of the grandfather, as his first wife in Austria initiated the necessary proceedings to become a widow officially. With the help of this declaration, we were able to prove that the deceased in Austria and the cousin in the US are related to one another and that the cousin is the legitimate heir.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the course of our research, we come across very fascinating stories of families and their fate.
