I've been researching the Diekhus's on my side, and saw your post. I'm having trouble locating Anna and Richard's date and place of passing. I knew they ended up in Michigan. I also have all the children except Dick. Anna is my great grand mother's sister (Alice Hoferer) I have been searching for Dietrich Diekhus and you have him as Richard, do you have info on the name change? or any info at all. I just found Bernard and put him in my tree this week. I hope you can help!!! Thanks Scott
