His father Rickard Wackerow (b/d Chicago 2/9/1886 - 1/19/1919) was the son of Wilhelmina Maak (b. Baumgarten, Schwerin, Mecklenburg 9/11/1865 d. Chicago 4/11/1889) and Wilhelm Wackerow (b. 9/11/1865? d. 1922? Ohio?). I don't know if this means we have a common ancestor but one would certainly hope so!
