Liz,
My GGGrandfather, Louis Herman GOCKE was a first cousin to your Augustus A.
GOCKE. Louis' father Anton GOCKE was the brother of Francis GOCKE, Augustus'
father. I know that my grandfather knew the BROOME family from the old
neighborhood. He mentioned that one time, when I was talking to him about a
band teacher I knew by the name of Bill BROOME. I have lots of GOCKEs in my
files but no CONRADs and only the one BROOME, that being Isabell.
What information are you seeking?
Best Regards,
Greg Bender
