(I think that makes you fourth cousin to my Dad...Charlotte Dora Goerke is his GGrama and Mary Jane Goerke is your GGrama.) Sounds like you know more about the Wisconsin roots than I do. I haven't really "barked up that tree" too far. I intend to get back at it. I've never married and have no kids (I do this stuff for fun...and for my sister's kids) , but I will be swamped with work and school until late next month, when school is DONE! ...and then I'm back to the research. Problem is, I've got too many projects going at the same time! I think one place to look for information will be the passenger lists for immigration. Have you tried that yet?
