Buer is a quarter of our city and only 8 kilometers away from my home. I visited the church of Buer some weeks ago to look into the old church books to find something out about my ancestors. By surfing the internet I found out where the emigrants live in the USA and whom they married. Your Ernest Henry Raker was father of August Raker and Mary Louise Catharine Raker who married into my Thieman family. One brother of my great-great-great-grandfather emigrated with his family to the USA in the 1870s. My family stayed here in Germany so that I am still here today. If you want to, you can contact me at thorsten.thiemann@osnanet.de If you send me your e-mail-adress I can send you a screenshot of my family tree to see how it all belongs together. My question: How are you related to Ernest Henry Raker? Are you a descendant of him? Do you have more data for me? Perhaps we can exchange some information. I'm looking forward for your reply. Greetings from Germany, Thorsten Thiemann P.S. Sorry for my language, I hope you can understand my english, I do not speak it so often.
