I am related to an older sister (assuming older) of Amelia and Charlotte Olga named Malvina. Source: Early Califonia Wills, Calif: California. Society , D.A.R., 1952 952 pg. Philipp's wife, Charlotta Frederica Luedke (Ludke) was a sister to Rudolph Luedke. He came to the US around 1850 and then went back on a passport to marry Malvina. I guess he married his niece. A researcher of marriage records that translates them in Russian Poland ran across the Luedke-Hammes 1854 marriage just by doing his job. Have you uncovered anymore information? Deene
