Hi Richard

You guys may already know this but my old school buddy at Deep River Elementary was Bruce Geffken, b. 1954, who is now, I believe, a U. S. Army officer stationed in the U.K. Maybe you could find him. His father was, I think, Phillip. Bruce's siblings were Phillip and Susan.

Scott, Thanks for the info - mI had nothing for Philip Geffken. I have been in touch with Bruce's first cousin, once removed, Ruth Edna Geffken who was 90 on Aug 3 this year. Her father, Frederick and Phillip's father, Frank were brothers. Don't know how to locate Bruce. Any idea where in the UK he might be?

My name is James Geffken and I am one of 7 children of John Frederick and Meg Comstock Geffken from Benton, PA. My late father was raised in Savannah, Georgia and had one brother Richard William Geffken II. They were the sons of Richard William Geffken and Mary Lou Shuman. I Believe that Richard William was the only sone of Dietrick Vilhelm Geffken, and that is as far back as anyone on my side seems to know.

I am descended from Frank (great-grandfather) and Phil Geffken (grandfather) previously referenced. I have a few records and have been able to trace my side back to the names of Frank's parents and siblings (including Frederick and Marie). Would like to compare my information and see what else is available beyond my immediate lineage.

Hi,

My name is Carl Eugene Geffken (born 1964 on Staten Island, NY). My father was Eugene Geffken (born 1921 on Staten Island, NY), his father was Carl Adolf Geffken (born 1894 in Chicago, IL), his father was Albert Hinrich Geffken (born 1866 somewhere in Germany), and from what I've been able to find on German databases, Albert's father was Friedrich Geffken (unknown birth date but location may be Rautendorf, Osterholz, Niedersachsen, Germany). Unfortunately I do not know Albert's mother's name. Albert's wife's name was Anna Barbara Gehring. I see Friedrich was mentioned in the prior message. Is there a potential connection? Thank you, Carl

There is probably a connection.
I'll check this out.
