Our families actually live close to each other.
I grew up around D.C. After I got started in geneology
I was invited to a family gathering of your clan in
Frederick. Being smarter than I am now, I did not go. :(
Now I realize that we might have some kinship
knowing where your grandfather is from. I suppose you
have some cousins living around
Baltimore.
Du"ring is near Bremehaven.
Hope this hels.
Hope to hear from you at my email address.
