Amy,
It's fine that the information was helpful for you. I have some more information on Fred's German roots and also on Fred's and his brother Emil's descendants. If you are interested then I would like to share with you via email, but being a guest user I cannot contact you directly.
Have you any information on Fred's wife? I only know about it, that Fred left Germany as a single young man and married in USA.
I'm looking forward to a reply from you.
Thanks in advance,
Dorothee in Germany
