My father was a Hermann Johannes(Henry) Kropp born in Breman, Bremerhaven or Vegesack.He came toU. S. when he was five to seven years old.They came under an assumed name Adler before World War I.His mother was Henriette Meyer.He and his father were both watchmakers.He had two brothers Arnold and Henry.I wrote because of the Herman and Henry first names I saw. Arnoldwas hospitalized in a mental instituion in Raleigh, N.C. My father was tall six feet 2 inches and thin with dark hair. He was interested in history and did not care for guns.Also he had dark brown eyes.His three girls had brown, red, and blonde hair.He was a lover of classical music and dancing.He did have a bad temper. He returned to Europe and Germany many times.
I write this to see if there are any similarities.
