I am writing to you because I know very little of my father's family here in America and nothing at all of my distant relatives that live in Germany. My grandfathers name was Frederic Carl Stubbe. I was told he came here with his brother in the 1800's. He and my grandmother, Louise had 10 children and I am a grandchild of FC & Louise. (My name is Georgia and I am 52 years old). I never knew them mainly because I was born late in life and they were deceased as my grandmother died in 1960. My fathers name was George W. Stubbe and he was born in 1907 in Sterling, Illinois. I realize I am sending this to you 5 years after your e-mail but I have only found this web-site today. I hope this information will help you and maybe we could have contact with each other.
