Robert Sy schrieb E-Mail-Adresse(n): syrobert@attbi.com Dear Klaus Riecken, Sorry for writing in English. I found your post to the SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN-ROOTS-L mailing list. It had the Kaack name listed. My Great-Grandmother emigrated to the United States in 1896 with my great-grandfather Richard François Gustave Sy (Richard Franz Gustav Sy). They were married shortly after arriving in the United States. I have attached a .TXT file of my Kaack family. The Catherine Anna Kaack (Kaak) in the file was my great-grandmother. Catherine and her father Johann Christian Kaack were born in Bornhöved, Schleswig-Holstein. All I know of the Kaack family in Germany comes from Johann Christian Kaack's marriage certificate from the Lutheran Church in Bornhöved. If you have any information on my Kaack family I would appreciate any help you can give to me. If you can give any suggestions regarding research into the Kaack family, that would be appreciated. Such as web sites and mailing lists. I have been researching my Sy family for years. They were Hugenotten. I have learned to read a little German so if you choose to write in German, I will translate. Best regards, Robert Sy folgender Anhang: Descendants of Heinrich Kaack 14 Feb 2003 ====================================================================================================================== 1.
