Liebe Freunden,
Mein Urgrossvater war Gerhardt Ludwig Thaden, in Aurich on 8 August, 1839
geboren. Er und seine Frau, Johanna Christina Amelia Wilkens da wohnten,
und waren an 22 Oktober 1859 verheiratet. Mein Grossvater war einer ihren
Sohnen, Eilert Ludwig Thaden.
Ich will wissen, wer die Eltern von Gerhardt Ludwig Thaden waren, und auch
seine Geschwestern. Ich habe gelesen, daß die Eltern waren in Hannover
geboren.
Mit diese Information konnen wir eine Vebindung finden, zwischen uns
und Frerich und Johanne Thaden in Aurich, Ostfriesland, mit wem wir haben im
Sommer 2000 ein Paar Tage gewohnt. Sehr nette Leute, zwar!
Danke sehr. Meine Englisch, naturlich, ist ganz besser als mein Deutsch.
Aber Sie konnen uns mit jede Sprache schreiben.
bis dann,
Bob
Hello could someone translate this message to English for me
thanks

Hi, Pat. The message was from me, Robert (Bob) L Thaden, Jr. Here's the
English version:
My great grandfather was Gerhardt Ludwig Thaden, born in East Friesland,
lived in Aurich and perhaps Neufunnixsiel, married Johanna Christina Amelia
Wilkens in Oct 22, 1859, perhaps in Aurich. He was born Aug 8, 1839.
My grandfather was Eilert Ludwig Thaden.
The only information I have on the parents of Gerhardt Ludwig Thaden is that
they were born in Hannover. I have no information about his brothers or
sisters.
My wife and I were in Aurich in 2000, staying with Frerich and Johanne
Thaden. He searched the city and county and church records, and could not
find this information for me. But I know we are related, because I look
just like their sons!
Any information would be wonderful!!
Vielen Dank,

Hello Bob,
You have a tough task. I would presume that you have done the obvious
stuff--like looking at the LDS films from Aurich. There are quite a few.
What I would do then is do a search on the LDS site for Thaden and
hit the exact spelling. You see that most of the Thadens that appear there
are from that same general area of the far northwest and look up the films
for any of them that the LDS has. Now--that is the old hard way of doing
genealogy before the wonderful days of the internet!
Sorry, I can't be of any more help.
Barbara
