Hi Thanks to any one who responded to my previous requests for information on the KAPERNICK family. I am researching the descendents of Wilhelm Friedrich Kapernick (7 Mar 1850- 6 May 1915) m. Hermine Anna Luisa Schmidt (? - 27 Jan 1939), Carl Friedrich Kapernick m.1Auguste Zimmermann 2. Emilie Ottilie Zimitat and Hermann Friedrich WilhelmKapernick (my great-grandfather ) who married Marie Johanna Wilhelmina BEUTEL, the daughter of Christian Beutel the other family I am researching at the moment. These three are brothers from Stendel in the Prussian province Brandenburg . I would greatly appreciate if anyone with information on the Kapernick or Beutel family would contact me. First generation surnames in Wilhelm Friedrich's family include: ITZSTEIN, ZIMITAT, KLEWE (or KLEVE), GREET, FULLELOVE, POTTS and BYRNE. The first generation surnames in Carl's family include: ZILLMANN, DRAHEIM, JONES, WRUCK and RICHARDS. In Hermann's family the surnames are: Scanlan, Smith Strenzel and Miller. As far as the BEUTELS go I have no further info. Any help is gratefully appreciated. Merry Christmas!! Regards Chris
