I'm trying to assist someone with their research.
Richard Herman Schenke was born 20 DEC 1872 in Germany. A Masonic letter indicates he was born in "Hirschfelder" Germany. Trees on Ancestry indicate that he was born in Leipzig, Germany. There is a "Hirschfeld" in Leipzig, so I think that's the most likely way to merge the two pieces of info.
Richard immigrated to the US and married Clara Meier/Meyer in 1900 in Wisconsin. His marriage cert and DC indicate he was s/o Herman Schenke and Augusta Pinkert.
I'm looking for more German records about him and his ancestors. Does anyone have access to or know of BMD records for this part of Germany in this time period? Thanks!
