Maxine, I think it was quite common for people to anglicize their German sounding names during the war years. Even the royal family did it, changing the German sounding Battenburg to Mountbatten.
Here in Canada we even changed the name of a city from Berlin to Kitchener.

just had a look at www.family search site.not too sure how to use it,typed in linstedt then linstead but wasnt sure how to narrow it all down,will look on there when its quiet in doors and kids are in bed ,ill look on here til then,need to get my bearings when i look on a new site,maxine

germany , sweden etc

thanks,its the right area and surname just need to match it with thomas,,i wonder why they changed it,it must have been because its a foreign name they must have been worried withe war looming etc,thanks!

Not sure if this one fits in anywhere but just in case
