We would like to thank all of you who have helped so much with this great project.

Remember we are always searching for new information and sometimes the smallest amount of information turns into the most rewarding search.

We started this project with 16 Bockwinkel names from Nicholas Bockwinkel, our dearest friend and cousin.
