Your grandfather August Ludwig is my great grandfather.
My grandfather August Ernst Gehrke tried to locate family records on a visit to Hannover in the 1960s, but did not succeed.Evidently the relevant church records had been lost in the war.
I am pleased to find you again - I left Detroit in the 1970s.I vaguely recall having met a John Gehrke when working for my father's cousin.
My father was Robert Barton Gehrke, who passed away in 1962.I'd be interested to learn who your father was.I am a lazy emailer but will look out for your reply.We have probably met eachother decades ago.
