Hi Robert,
My great grandfather Leo Bethke was born 3/23/1883.He named his first son Leo Reinholt Bethke, Jr. because he had a brother named Reinholt, but my great grandfathers parents were William Bethke and Rosella Collott.
It is my understanding that the Bethke name was a very large family in Posen at one time and that all the siblings went in different directions, even here in the U.S.Augusta was one of the sisters that I found on a passenger list also.
I am not sure this is the same family but could be cousins.
Good Luck,
Laura Bethke
