Hi Debbie,
My name is Harold Lonnie Bathke.
My dad's mom was Katie Bathke (Dirksen), daughter of Antje and Roolf Dirksen from Moorsdorf, Germany. My sister Patti Cooper has been to Ostfriesland, Germany to visit some Dirksen relatives that live there. Her address is patticoo@gotnet.net if you would like to contact her she would be glad to hear from you.
We went to the 100th anniversary reunion of the Dirksen family coming to the US in Bancroft, SD last year. There were about 200 relatives there and here is the link to some pics I took showing old photos of the early days in SD:

Please reply to me and Patti so we can explore more of our relationship.
Regards,
Lonnie Bathke
