Thank you Jennifer for your message! I will send you anything I might find, my Grandma Mable (Hoover) Bandt, wife of Theodore R. Bandt, went back as far as she could said she could not contact anyone in Germany to find out more but always said there was two brothers that came from Germany together but went their seperate ways once they got to America. So if that is true we may very well be related! My e-mail address is jbrum@megavision.com.
