Dear Kathy,
I have the same problem how to reach Russell. I foeund him at an genealogy side when I looked for my family at the isle of Fehmarn in Germany. From his questions I can sea that my grand grand father was a brother of Dorothea Lucy Catharina Knaack born 22-07-1855 in Bisdorf on Fehmarn.
Expect to hear fromm you,
Greetings from Holland,
Ferry Knaack
