Thank you for responding. The Wikipedia site does not provide much information. I have looked at the official website for Steimbke, but it is in German and I can only make out a few words.

I believe Steimbke is where my great grandfather was born. His name was William Haase, (probably Johann Wilhelm Haase). His father was Heinrich.

I would appreciate any pictures you may want to share. My e:mail address is: chrisann.fay@verizon.net
