After visiting Meilenwerk, we returned to Heike and Jörg’s home in Schönaich where Jörg had been busy with the BBQ, making lunch.


Heike’s mother, Ingeborg, made a delicious potato salad. Here’s Ingeborg with her other daughter, Kirsten.

And here’s Heike with her youngest son, Tobias.

And here’s Tobias with “Opa,” Heike’s father, Hans-Jürgen.

So how exactly are we related to these fine folks? Walter Hugo Ulmer, Sr’s., brother’s family?
We are third cousins. Our common ancestor is Grandpa Ulmer’s (Walter H. Ulmer, Sr.’s) grandfather.
