First: My e-mail address is
Bonnie7264@yahoo.comI am inquiring about Gladys Knaack and her brother, who where raised in the Libertyville, IL area by their grandparents "Suydam" after their mother commited suicide. Gladys was born Sept. 3rd, 1923, her brother, I have no idea his name or birthdate. They were in Lake Bluff orphanage for a short time after their mother died, then the grandparets took them out and raised them both. They had a cousin Kay Holman who also was from the Libertyville area. Gladys married Burkich in her teens and they had no children, then Mr. Burkich (Gladys's husband) was killed on a motorcycle. Later Gladys married George Wehrenberg also from Libertyville, IL they had two children, and I am the daughter-in-law. My children are wondering about their grandmothers background, and I have little information. If anyone has more info, please contact me. THANKS.
