Hallo Dirk,
My wife is interested in the ZARNKE surname also. We are looking for a
Ludwig ZARNKE who married a Maria STARK in Mecklenburg , came to Milwaukee
Wisconsin USA about 1853. I do not have the village name in which they
lived . I am looking in the area around PLAU, DOBBERTIN, and WREDENHAGEN
as the name appeared there in the 1819 census. Do we have any link here ?
