[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Steinke's

[Gregory Kraus]

Dear Jennifer,
I note your interest in Steinke's. My husband has Steinke ancestors, though
little is known about them. Beate Luise Steinke married Wilhelm Oppermann
and they had a daughter Julie Henriette born 1843 in the Buchwerder
area/region of Czarnikau - now Polish mid eastern area.
Regards,
Elizabeth from Victoria, Australia
