Searching for ancestors and descendants of MICHAEL GEDAMKE b 1774 d 1824 in Alt Beelitz nr Driesen fornmer Germany.The area was called NEUMARK. I have one line that went to Berlin in 1839. I have a hint that the GEDENKES ( early writing form) lived in Alt Beelitz in 1717. There are different theories about the name - could be Swedish/ East Prusian connected to name Gedenk/ could mean "man of Danzig"

I am a Gedamke living in the USA. I have some church records dating back to 1870 for my great grandfatherJohann Ferdinand Gedamke from Neu Erbach and my grandfather Rudolf Hermann Leberecht Gedamke from Neu Anspach Friedeberg. I have other records that show my grandfather living in Oldenburg ,Bremerhaven and Lubeck. Is this information useful to anyone? Best wishes, Rudi

Dear Rudy,
Did your Gedamkes arrive by 1850?
Sincerely,
Cheryl

Classification: Query
Surnames: Gedamke
I just recently became interested about my last name and where the name came from. i am a Gedamke living in the states but I came here from Germany in 1978 when I was 12 years old. My name is Guido, my father is Gunther and my grandfather is Gustav. My grandfather and grandmother passed away about 4 years ago in Germany in the town of Remscheid. My father has told me that my grandfather originally came from the area of the former east germany.
Don't know if this will help me or anybody else but I thought I would just post the message. I should probably work on my dad a little more and see what he remembers;-))
I would be interested to hear a little more about the connection to Gedenke if anybody has any info.
