Herman Gerdes m Dorothea Arkenberg 1867 in IN
Looking for information on my Great-Grandparents on my mom's side of the family. Herman's parents are unknown to me. He was born abt 1838 near Hanover, Germany and died late Oct 1889 in Louisville KY. He married Dorothea Arkenberg on Nov 7, 1867 in Ripley County, IN. She was born about 1847 near Hanover, Germany also. She died in Apr 1904 in Louisville,KY.
They had one son William b abt 1871, and three daughters, Caroline b Jul 7, 1874, Mary b abt 1878 and my grandmother Dorothea Lena b Aug 23, 1879 in Ripley Co.
If anyone has info, I would love to exchange what little I have on both families.
