My grandfather was Edwin Karge. He told me that his father was from Poland. He also told he came to Califonia by way of N.Y.
I've also found out after living for the
past several years in Germany that the name
Karge {pronounced "KARGA"} only comes from
one part of the world, Eastern Germany.
He died four years ago. His wife lives in
Stockton California. Her name is Angela Karge.
