I am not too clear on family history, but my father's great aunt lived with us when I was young. We called her "Aunt Maggie", but I believe her given name was Margaret. I have to go through some old papers and books to be sure. We lived in Chicago, but I do remember that she had a son, Rheinhold, (Uncle Rennie to me) that lived in Milwaukee. I also remember that he was a Major (retired) in the Army. Uncle Rennie had 2 sons, I think that they were Rheinhold Charles (cousin Chuck) and Richard. Richard stayed in Milwaukee, and Chuck ended up in Virginia. I know that Chuck was doing a lot of geneology searches before he died, and he told me one time that he had traced the Dedi family back to Germany, somewhere around the Black Forest. I don't know if his widow saved any of the information. Hope this helps you. If I can be of further assistance, let me know via e-mail.
