It's interesting that we have such similar names but I can't find a connection to my family tree. Maybe there's a connection further back in the family tree.

The George Dieck I mentioned in my query had a son, George Joseph Dieck, who married Rose Fagan somewhere in Illinois. They had a son, George Joseph Dieck, my grandfather, who married Margaret Casey.

Just curious -- do you know what part of Germany your George Dieck is from?
