I just stumbled onto a posting from you from a few years ago. My grandfather was Heinrich (Henry) Karge, the brother of Wilhelm August Johann Heinrich Karge. From info. that I have from my cousin, Ronald Karge, Wilhelm and Henry were both from the marriage of William (Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Karge) and his 1st wife, Anna Maria Dorothea Dahling. Henry was the first child to be born in the U.S. There were three other sons born to William and 2nd wife, Wilhelmina F. Dumke, Adolf, Alfred and Herman. My father, Harland Kenneth Karge, was the youngest of the seven children of Henry and wife, Elizabeth Rachel Weber. I have additional info. from my cousin who visited Germany a few years ago to research the family. I can be reached at diverz28@cmaaccess.com Sincerely, Anita Paiz
