Linda,
Thank you for Posting the announcement. We are so sorry to hear that Art has passed. It is a horrible shame that there is such a rift in the family. I wish I had a chance to get to know my cousin, and the rest of the cousins. Please, pass on our heart felt sympathy's to his mother and his brothers.

Linda,
Thank you for posting Arthur's obituary. I didn't know him well, only having met him once but we emailed occaisonally about the family history. He was a nice man. I hope you will let the family know that our thoughts and prayers are with them.

Brian,
I'm not sure if you are still interested in the family history but I wanted to ask a question. I'm fairly certain that your line of Poekerts are connected to mine but I'm having trouble proving it. Your great-greatgrandfather Richard Adolph Poekert was born in Philadelphia and that is where my great-grandparents settled after emigrating from Germany; and where my grandfather and his siblings were born. According to the Philadelphia City Directory, Richard's father, Frederick, worked with my grandfather Paul. I haven't found any ships' records for any of the Poekerts at this point so I don't know if they traveled together. I do know that Paul, my great-grandfather, arrived in the states in 1882, according to one of the census forms. It is a little harder to search these days since I now live in England so I thought I would ask if you had found a connection? I have conflicting maiden names for Richard Adolph's mother as well so that confuses the issue even more. I'd appreciate any thoughts you may have on this.
Anna

I see you have the Elkert name as one of your surnames. DO you have any information. My gr grandfather came over in 1902 August Elkert. His wife was Ernestine. He was born in the 1860's.
Thanks
