The mother of my paternal grandfather (Arno Rassler) was a Graupner and was from the general area of Gera.My gfather was from Altenburg, Saxony, most probably from the village of New Dobitzschen which is between Gera and Altenburg.He immigrated by himself as a young man to America in late 1800s. I am at work and do not have his mother's first name here but I do remember that Arno had a sister Lena that stayed in Germany with her mother.The family story is that Arno's mother starved to death in Germany during WWI.I have a picture of Arno with his mother and sister that was taken at a studio in Altenburg. His mother was a very beautiful woman. Any data or help will be great!!!
