Dear Rob: Thanks so much for the reply. I forwarded it to Rudy Brinker who is a great uncle of my son-in-law Hans Brinker. Rudy is also a great grandson of Balthasar Brinker and his second wife Margarethe. I'm sure he will enjoy reading it and maybe connecting with your branch of the family. I will be getting back on this after this weekend as I have lots to do before driving over to Houston from El Paso for Thanksgiving at my daughter's home over there. Again--pleasure to meet you. Sincerely, Janice Connell
