Tina,
Actually, I am looking for the parents of Emil Kaeding, August Kaeding and Bertha Maria Kaeding (who then married into the Hethke family). Do you know if any of these would be related to them. About the only info I have is that Bertha's husband (also an Emil) was born on July 4, 1858 in Germany and was the son of Michael Hethke and came to the US at age 24 which would have been around 1882. They married on June 30, 1887 and he died on August 14 1943. She died on Jan. 17, 1947. Bertha's husband's full name is Emil Edward Hethke. And they had the following children Emma Hethke (Henry Grohler), Rose Hethke (Gustav Grohler) Louise Emalina Hethke (George Fuoss), Wilhelmina Hethke(Milo Higgins), Martha Hethke (George Schoon), Clara Hethke (Clair Hathaway), Bertha Hethke(Gus Zarbuck), Marie Hethke (joe Douglas), Emil Hethke (Lily Kietzman), and Walter Hethke. This is the only info I have on any of them. I don't have anything on Emil or August(Bertha's brothers). If you have any addtional info I would be glad to know. Thanks. If you want to email me you can,
