Nannette,
You are lucky to have as much information as you do on your ggrandfather.
Since his last residence is listed as being Magdeburg, Prussia, I think I
would check if there are any LDS church films for that and the surrounding
area, ordrer them and begin a search for the STEMMLER surname. Or you
could check on-line the German telephone book for the STEMMLER name and
-b-egin a letter writing campaign to STEMMLERS.

I have done both with much success. Good luck.
