Dear Hans Schaefer:
Would your ancestors (Schaefer) have relatives in Bad Karlshafen? My
grandfather Otto Berger was born to Hermann Berger of Holzminden and Minna
(Schaefer from Karlshafen). Otto Berger (who was born in 1877) came to America about
1900. Otto had a brother, Richard Berger born in 1879, a sister, Anna born
in 1880; another sister Margarethe born in 1883 and brothers (twins) Kurt and
Erich born in 1885. Godfathers of Otto Berger were the merchant Heinrich
Schaefer from Karlshafen and the merchant Ludwig Berger from Holzminden.
I would like to contact any cousins from the Berger family and/or Schaefer
family. The Bergers were Lutheran and Minna Schaefer was Protestant-reformed.
Unfortunately I do not speak German but I am hoping perhaps some cousins
may know English enough to correspond.
Thank you,
Claire Berger
