Hello,
I'm shawna I met my great grandmother in 2003 when I was 15 and she soon passed 2 years later. I grew up not even knowing I had a great grandmother as my grandma passed in 1980 before I was born. Her name was Barbara ann kurtz but on paperwork that I have found its Barbara ann friedrichs. My great grandmothers name was johanna funk married friedrichs, kurtz, kostli, graham her mother was alide wilhelmine lucke married funk from reval estonia. My grandmother was born in hamburg germany and I know my great grandmother lived in Germany most her life. I cannot find any documentation on anybody besides the naturalization and alides marriage certificate to whilhelm funk in Hesse Germany.
I know there is a major time barrier and language barrier but I'm determined to figure out my genealogy on my mothers side. I have few photos and little to no knowledge besides johanna was born nov. 19 1914 and Barbara September 22nd 1936. Nobody in the family knows a name or information on who my great grandfather was but we have 1 photo and he is older. He supposedly passed sometime around the 1970s in Germany. I'd like to figure out who and where I came from as those who knew are long gone and I'm starting from scratch to hopefully pass it to my aunts and uncles along with my own kids. I have spent many years trying and many resources with little to no luck and if anyone is out there who can or is willing to help, you would make one family forever grateful.
Thank you so much for your time and reading a bit on my family.
Best regards- Shawna Garcia 😊
