@PeterHorvath91 We are so glad you have joined our German community - It is a great place to get help and to help others! We have a lot of talented, experienced participants here.
Most of the time, it is best to use "ask a question" - do this by selecting the arrow to the right of "new discussion". Asking a question allows you to accept the answer or let us know you would like more help.
Be sure to review the links at the top of our community page for some great resources. We look forward to hearing from you. We are so glad you are part of this great community!
Thanks for being patient as we sometimes must wait for a response to come from a volunteer with the needed skill set. It is always good if you include the identification number of the person in question in Family Search Family Tree so we can see the bigger picture.
We look forward to your comments and questions.

Hi Peter, finding a cousin is always exciting! However, you won't be able to get the information you want from Berlin for another ten years, due to data protection laws. If you can find out from Lisa's grandson, what her parents names and birthdates are, you may actually find some civil registration records on Ancestry.com.
Since you are new to DNA and genealogy, which is a wonderful place to be, may I recommend a few tutorials to watch to learn how to better read your DNA matches? And, I also recommend, you connect with the grandson of your DNA match, so that together, you may look at what information he has, and ask him to check with any living family members, that might have information around the house, like photo albums, passports, address books, stories, etc. Compile your findings and see if you can find an earlier date. Maybe Lisa Schrotter nee Richter, had brothers and sisters. If you identify who her parents are, you will get better results. And you are not bothering, it is always good to ask questions. My concern is that Lisa/Leah's surname's are both rather common, and there would be too much information to sift through without knowing who her parents are. Who did you do the DNA test with?
For the moment, I will recommend a few blogs, to learn a little more about the DNA basics, https://www.yourdnaguide.com/
The Boston Public Library offers a great page on DNA and Genetic Genealogy, that was published this year, with a list of articles.
I also found this, and this might be relevant for you with your Jewish heritage. I haven't watched the video, but, I know Daniel Horowitz and he may provide some useful insights.
