His parents were Wilhelm Janssen Waltke and Antje Heinrich. They apparently stayed just a couple of years in Craig and then moved to Nebraska(maybe Sterling or Pickrell) Anybody heard of this family? ==== MOHOLT Mailing List ==== NOTICE: Posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal.
