For Hans-Hermann Goebel
From Hans-Hermann's tree...
My Rettke DNA connections at Ancestry tie me and a number of others to Johann Rettke and Wilhelmine Gnadt of Charbrow. See the Radtke DNA Family Tree there for details. See also their daughter Ernestine and her husband August Latal. As of 8 March 2020.
