I was able to just google (Grafenberg) to a web page and sent an email to the Senior citizens group asking for a family name contact. Got a generation (my GF) counterpart of GGGGG's brother. Talking now to fill blanks of my line, still difficult, language and tree direct - I think I will have to ask for a referral to the Church for records to find confirmed information. Good luck - walls may crumble but still stand in your way. In a message dated 3/29/2011 1:46:01 P.M.

Some even don't reply to any email being sent to them. Which church/parish are you trying to contact - maybe I will be able to help.

In 1999 I sent a letter by snail mail and receieved some valuable information. When I go to the site now I just see fax and phone numbers. Both would be to expensive. I have found another family in Minnesota that has the same last name, but we have traced as far back as we can in the US. We know we are cousins but think the link must be back in Germany. Any help would be appreciated.
