Hello, I am new to this list and my name is Kathleen. I am from Nebraska and I am researching some German ancestors of mine and my husbands. The names are Kerner, Creen or Creene, Grone, Koester that I know of for now. I just started my Dads and husbands and have been working on my mothers for awhile. Is Gardiner a German name? I will get more information sorted out. I have never been on a country list, just a names list. Bruno Creen born in Berlin b. abt 1880 moved to NYC, NY Philip Kerner and Jenny James both born 1861 in Frankfurt Germany Bernard Grone May 8, 1874 in Ollenburg, Germany Bertha Catharine Louise Koester June 18, 1882 Oldenburg, Germany Bernard came to America either alone or with uncles as a teen. Bertha came with family also as a teen. Nancy Gardiner was born around 1790 and I don't know where. She married a Hensley in Tennessee. Thank you for your help and advice. Blessings, Kathleen ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
