You have been e-mailing a R.Benke in Germany. I am having trouble e-mailing him?? I am trying to get some information on a Bertha Beneke,Behnke,Benecke,etc. born abt.1842ish. Her son William Frank Otto was born abt. 1869 n Germany. The story is that my grandfather William Frank Otto did not understand things when he came into this country and the name became Blank. The family supposedly was from Hamburg, Germany area. My father was the youngest of 7 born to William Frank Otto. I am at a stand still??? My grandfather died when my dad was abt. 3 months old.(1917 in Chicago) His wife was Delphina(e) Any suggestions or help I greatly appreciated! Or am I just one of those people who will never know?
