Cool, thanks, never knew! I am always asked if I am related to the family that owns the Goike's farm on 26 mile in Washington Township...I still have no idea! :)

Hi linda, I found this old post...My grandpa is Stuart Goike, my dads dad.
"I have just found a photograph of Steven Goike and his sonJoseph with one unnamed. Steven is quite old. Photo taken about 1916. He is holding his grandson, Owen Goike. Also have Joseph with wife, Augusta Budnik Goike in Detroit. These were sent to me in 1995 by Stuart Goike of Gross Pte. Shores, MI.
Linda"
Mrs. John A Goike was always on my mothers Christmas Card list growing up, even though I never met her, she lived in Gross Pt.
Do you sill have the pictures? Do you have a facebook? I am Dena Goike you can add me if you do :) It would be cool to see old Pictures...I have one of My Grandpa Stuart with his really blue eyes on my moms front porch, we were always told by Verlaine he was dead and one day after my dad died he showed up obviously Not dead, he had moved to florida with a Marie lady, guess she thought it was better to say he died. I would love to see more pictures, I will find the ones my mom has this weekend and post them on my facebook!! :)
Thanks for all the info!! I have always wondered! At 33 years old its kinda making sense!! :D

I don't have an account, I stumbled upon this site when I got interested in the Goike's Kashub Snuff jar we have and found out I have more family members than I know of!

Dear fellow Goike family members,
I am the daughter of Gloria Goike. John Goike named above was my grandfather. His wife Mabel (nee: Breisacher), was my grandmother. Family with the last name of Breisacher is another part of the family tree I would love to find!
I know the names of all the people, and have all the pictures of the people, mentioned above! Except for Steven. Wow!
Stuart, my mother's nickname for him was Bruz (sp?), because when she was very young, she couldn't say "brother." Marie was one of his wives, from my memory. My Uncle Bruz (as I would call him), died when I was pregnant with my second son in about 1997.
I am on Facebook. My name is Michelle Chavez (my father's last name), and I live in California.
Dena, who was your mom?
I hope to hear and connect with one or all of you Goikes.

I am a Breisacher from Toledo, Ohio just south of Detroit. I would love to help you with the Breisacher side of your tree if I can at all.
