Good Afternoon Forum Members,

If anyone has any information that they can add to this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Back in August 2006, I had requested information on a Fredrick ADEN (1883-1974) for his siblings and parents. Florence was kind enough to respond and thus started the search. Since then I have gained a bit of information to share with everyone.

When Henry and Grace died, the children then went to Hiram Friedrichs BEHRENDS to be raised. This also included Renke, from Henry's first marriage. It would seem that Etta did also get married, of which my first inquiry stated that it looked like she did not.

Any information on Grace's first marriage, Hiram Behrends, or Hinrich's parents would be greatly appreciated. If you are a descendant of any of these individuals, feel free to contact me at HoperFamily@yahoo.com I always love to meet new cousins.
