We know very little and are trying to learn more of my wifes family. We think her great grandfather is Michael Foertsch(Foartsch) born 5/1865 and her great grandmother is Amefia born 9/1866. We think her grandfather Matthew Michael Foertsch was born 8/1889. There was a period of years from about 1888 when the family went to Alameda, California from Chicago and then returned to Chicago ten years later. During this time her great grandfather was born, and we think he had a brother. If anyone can help us develope this information we would be willing to pay a fee. We live in Indiana and cannot come to California to pursue this.
