I searched in vain for the 1900 census. That is Frank & Hattie [Abraham] Grunzke, probably not the parents, Hattie would have been 13 at his birth. And if Fredrick & Mary were his grandparents, then August and Amelia [in 1905] were his aunt & uncle. The online death index lists Abraham as his mother's maiden name; and a family tree on ancestry.com lists him as the child of Anna Grunske [dau of Frederick & Mary and sister of Frank], though her maiden name was not Abraham, she married an Abraham. Is this confusing enough? I did call the recorders office & was told they will do a free birth cert lookup if I send the request in writing, which I shall do. Thanks again for your efforts!
