Forst Family in Germany

I have only a rudimentary knowledge of Grandma’s family in Germany. Though I have dates for all of her sisters (and half-sister), I don’t have much information on her half-brother, Gustav’s family other than names.

Gustav Forst and his wife, Bertha, apparently had a son, named Johannes, and a daughter Aenne. Aenne was married to someone by last name of Reuss (first name unknown) and had two daughters, Hildegard & Angela. I know that Hildegard eventually married a man by the first name of Friedhelm, but I don't know his last name. I corresponded with Angela for a few years back in the late '60's but have since lost track of all of them.
