Sorry for taking so long to respond.I just got busy with life.I thought my son, Kevin, had taken over for me, but I see that he only posted the one message.
My father was Gustave, and my uncle, your father, was Adolph.That makes you my niece.I think I last saw your father when he and your mother came out to visit just after they got married.That was a while ago.As I recall, you have a brother Paul.They sent us a clipping from the newspaper when he chased down a purse snatcher.We have a few pictures of you two when you were young, which your folks sent to us.
They also had another brother named Theodore.Grandpa Gustave was married to Wilhelmina (Neundorfer) Thurkow.I know that he died fairly young.He was a house painter, and they used lead based paints in those days.I don't have much else.Glenn
