Researching LACHMANN and SOMERFIELD families from Berlin.

I joined to help a friend of mine solve a problem. She found a letter
from her dad to a cousin (he called him cousin) around 1944 congra-
tulating him on the birth of his son. She is trying to determine how
they are related. Here is what we know.

My friend's dad left Germany in 1938.
His name is: Rudolf LACHMANN born: 18 March 1917 in Berlin area.
He died in Chicago 5 Jul 2004.
Rudolf's father was Leo LACHMANN who died in Berlin 1936.

The SOMERFIELD who we are trying to connect to are:
Gerhard (Gerard) Leopold SOMERFIELD who was b 30 July 1908
in Berlin (?) and died in London May 1992.

Any information or ideas on how to research this issue
would be appreciated.
