Richard Gemmecke was a Dean of Education or History at Indiana State University (that's different from Indiana University).You will also find a paper he did for his doctorate on the web.It was about a pioneering family in Indiana.I will have to look to see who his parents were.My first guess is his parents were Carl (Charles) and Grace Nation.Richard died in the 1970's.He had retired from ISU and had a tripped to Germany planned to do further genealogy research on the Gemmeckes.Unforturnately, he died before his trip.
We still run into people who ask if we are related to Richard - one of his first teaching positions was in Martinsville, IN - just the next town over from where my husband and I live now.
