Dear List Members,
Although my GGG grandfather, Johann Jurgen Wilhelm Rathcke, was born in
Niedersachsen, most of his children were born in Mecklenburg-Schwerin.
One of his sons, my direct ancestor, emigrated to the USA, and after a
long search from here in the United States, I have found that I still
have relatives living in Mecklenburg. More recently, I discovered that
3 of Johann Jurgen Wilhelm's sons and 2 of his daughters emigrated to
Denmark. I have appended information about these Mecklenburger RATHCKE's
in Denmark in the hope that relatives in Denmark can now find their
Mecklenburger and American cousins!
Sincerely,
Jerry Rathke
