Oh Walt! This is wonderful information! Thank you so much for sharing it with me. This line was my brick wall for many years until the past couple weeks, in which they uploaded German records from Berlin which have helped me to continue my search. I am going to email you everything I have found on the Oldenburg and Russ lines. I would love a copy of everything you have. I was very close with my grandmother Donna, unfortunately she never spoke of her family much. Recently I was able to reach out to Kathryns oldest daughter who is about 80-90 years old and was sharp as could be. She told me what she knew, which wasn't much. They lived in Fond Du Lac for quite some time. I am hoping to one day visit and Fond Du Lac to look up more records and see if the houses are still standing where they all lived. Going to send you an email now. Thank you again for sharing so much with me. Take care!
