Hi
I have compiled a booklet about the descendants of Johann and Louisa who emigrated to NZ. It also includes their ancestors in Germany as far back as I was able to go. Happy to share.

Cheers

Hi Jillian

We are also descendants of Johann and Louisa and have quite a history of once they emigrated to NZ but nothing on the Gerken ancestors in Germany. Our daughter is very interested in finding out more on our Gerken ancestors for a class project. Would it be possible for you to share this part of our history? Thanks Carolyn

Hi CDG

The information I have was given to me by Kayeb. She has done a very intensive study of the Gerken Family in Germany. Her contacts that I have are Kb@paradise.net.nz or Kaye Batchelar, P.O.Box 9751, Wellington, New Zealand. They may be outdated, but hope not. My contact is jandnphillips@xtra.co.nz. Would love to hear from you.
Regards
Jillian

Thanks for your response JillieB. Potentially Ivan maybe the child of one of these children mentioned here. I will try track down a family tree from a cousin and see where that leads me. Kind regards
