I just came across tour website and the foto of the foreigners cemetary in Shangai.A cousin of my father was killed whle testing airplanes,probably near Shangai,in cc 1930. As a child,I remember seeing a postcard around the house(NY)from the Chinese Government notifying the family.His first name was probably Alfred and las name Nahmmacher same as me. Are you aware of any way I can get details from the cemetery or Chinese authorities? I'm also an expatriate, having lived most of my life in Mexico. Art
