Surnames: Strack Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/ZAQBAEB/76 Message Board Post: My great grandfather Simon Strack was born in or around 1852 in Germany. He came to the US (Rockland County, NY) in 1890. His wife and children followed him about 1892. I'm not sure where he was born, but his children were born in Hanover. His wife's name was Miria or something similar. His children born in Germany were Martin, Clara, Julia, Anna and my Grandfather Peter. Does anyone have any information about Stracks in Hanover?
