Family research I have show that Gottfried GOERKE, son of Christian GOERKE and Gottliebe MINKOWSKI, was born 17 Sept 1821 in Germany. In Germany, Gottfried married Wilhelmina Anna DETTMER, daughter of John DETTMER and Carolyn KRUMM. I do not show the date they married. Gottfried had 2 children with 1st wife Carolina SCHULZ. Gottfried and Wilhelmina had 8 children all born in Germany, before coming to the United States in 1871 and settling in Amazonia, Missouri. Gottfried died 6 Aug 1896 and Wilhelmina died 26 Aug 1913. Both are buried here is St Joseph, MO @ Ashland Cemetery Lot #31. Hope you're still looking for this information and that it helps you. Also, Gustof GEORKE (their son) went on to marry Katherine RUEBEL. Their daughter, Anna Marie GOERKE, b. 5 July 1900, d. March 1953 married (in 1918) Clyde Hartwell PACE, b. 30 Oct 1892, d. 9 Apr 1974. They were my grandparents on my father's side of the family. My father being Leon Hartwell PACE, Sr.; born 12 Jan 1930, d. 20 Nov 1985.
