Dear List and Keith, I enjoyed looking over the family history on the Dallmeyer - Locke families provided in your 28 July e-mail, subject same as above. While not a Dallmeyer, I married into the Dallmeyer family a little over 30 years ago and have enjoyed digging into the family history, a portion of which is duplicated below for all to see. If anyone finds any mistakes, please drop a line.
