We and several other descendants of that area are doing genetic genealogy with 23andme <a href="https://www.23andme.com" target="_blank">https://www.23andme.com</a>. So far, families of Kaeding, Zamzow, Thiel, Garbe, Kaatz, and others are testing. We are looking for a male Volbrecht/Vollbrecht/Fullbright descendant who is willing to do the genealogy testing - 23andme testing also provides 250+ health and wellness reports for you based on your genome. So, if you or someone you know would like to test and join us, we are happy to share the family histories and combined genealogy information. Thank you for considering this - it will help us develop the family history in the period before 1824 and connect to the other Vollbrechts who came to America in the 1600's!. Thank you!

I'm not sure if it helps or not to be honest. I have such limited information about the Vollbrechts and the Eberts. It would seem that if your August Vollbrecht was related to my Gustav Vollbrecht, it might be Gustav's father (or his father's age at least...) Do you know if August had a son or a nephew named Gustav? It just seems to be quite a coincidence, otherwise. :-) However, I am discovering that coincidences DO occur. :-)<br><br>Thanks! 2008-07-21 21:57:29Z Irlandaheart http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.volbrecht/27.1.1/mb.ashx http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.volbrecht/27.1/mb.ashx My grandfather was named August Vollbrecht.
