I'm a descendant of Scharlotte Louise Gaedke (tons of variations of the spelling of her last name) born June 10, 1842 in Branzlow Province of Brandenburg, near Stettin,NE of Berlin .
Her parents were Carl (Karl) Gaedke in about 1795 in Prenzlau, Uckermark, Brandenburg, Germany, and Charlotte Ode probably born about 1821 in Prussia. It is said that Carl's Mother's maiden name may have been Engelbrecht. They had 3 daughters, my 2nd Great Grandmother, Scharlotte, Wilhelmina (Heidi) and Amelia Amalie.
Scharlotte married Johann Boje ( change his name to John Boie when he came to America) in Winona county, MN. I live in MN and have been to their grave and hope to go to Carl and Charlotte's grave in Winona County, MN soon.
I'm looking for information on Carl Gaedke and Charlotte Ode's parents, siblings and so on as I have hit my "Titamium" Brick Wall. I am happy to share what I do know!
Any help is appreciated.
