I've gotten a little further than the last time we connected :) I'm about 90% certain that Rudolph's parents were Karoline (Caroline) Breitzke and Johann August Semerau - known as Aug, and that he was born in Lobsen, Pozen. I'm not sure how or where Gottlieb Semerau fits into the picture, however. And again, I'm not absolutely certain about those names, I do know that Caroline was Rudolph's mother - she was a midwife and I have the original certificate from the state of Wisconsin (1914) as well as hand-written notes on photos showing her in her midwife office. I would love to see some of the family photos you referenced in the previous note. My mom recently passed away, and I've found dozens of old photos, as well, many of which I'm unable to identify. Oh, I tried contacting you via the above email and it bounced. Thanks and hopefully we'll be able to help each other out.
