In my searching for LORCK I mentioned I found the ancestral file on the LDS site. I am aware that most of these findings are done by family historians and sent on to the Mormon site...... However, I do know Johanne, my grfathers sister did come to England for a time. My mother had pictures of her from a studio in Germany. When she came and or when she left I could not establish as there were no records of incoming passenger lists from Germany to England. I was not able to find lists to search for her or her brother returning to Germany. I am also aware that their birthplace (Konigsberg, Ostpreussen, Germany )is considered almost impossible to research due to the wars and the realigning of German territories. I am knowledgeable in regard to the LORCK & BESSEL lines going back in time in Germany, I just can't seem to go forward. I was fiddling around with a German search engine a while back with the name LORCK and came across an article that gave me the name of an architect in Berlin responsible for designing the Wal Marts in the area, his name was Bessel Lorck. I have not been able to make contact. Thank you so much for your interest and response DEL
