Thank you for the replies to my inquiry regarding the names of Schlueter
and Brunke from Neuwallmoden. The only information that I have is what is
given on my grandmother's death certificate. My grandmother, Therese Anna
EMMA Brunke was born in 1886 in Neuwallmoden to Wilhelm and Wilhelmine
(Schlueter) Brunke. She died in Gitter in 1945. I know very little else
concerning her family except that she was from a large farm family
(information passed down through my mother), and I believe the death
certificate listed my greatgrandfather's occupation as a shoemaker. The
religion was listed as Lutheran Evangelist. I am not aware of any early
family immigrations to the USA, until our own immigration. My
grandmother's family has been a brick wall for me. Can anyone suggest how
I can find out more about this family line of mine? Thank you.
