Dear RGeddert:
I realize this post was done many years ago, so I am do hope this email reaches you.
I have been researching my father's family over the past several years - he was Georg Geddert and he was born in Pruden in 1920. He died in 1997.
I am wondering if we might be related?
My grandfather's name was Johann (b. 1887 in Pruden, d. 1962 in Vancouver) and he married Katharina Maurer. They had 5 children: Katie, Hans, Rudolph, Georg, Martha and Michael. All moved to British Columbia in Canada after the war, except for Michael who did not return from the war.
I realize that Geddert is a common name, but thought I would contact you and perhaps see what you know. How wonderful that you travelled there. That is definitely on our plans to do as well.
All of the Uncles and my Aunt Katie have now passed on and it is only my Aunt Martha who is still with us. I do not have the opportunity now to talk with her - she is in a nursing home and is not well
Thank you so much for reading this email and it would be wonderful to hear from you.
With best regards,
Marsha Boyle (nee Geddert)
