JOHN HACKENBERG IS MY GRAND FATHER AND HIS WIFE BECKE CAME OVER FROM AUSTRIA AND INTER THE US AT ELLIS ISLAND ON OR BEFORE 1904. THE REASON I KNOW THIS IS THAT MY MOTHER LENA B KERR (HACKENBERG) WAS BORN IN PORTLAND MILLS PA IN 1907 AND MOVED TO MICHIGAN IN THE 1920 MARRIED MY FATHER IN 1927 IN BOYNE CITY, MICHIGAN BUT YOUR HERITAGE HAS IT WRONG AND FROM SOMEONE WHO SHOULD HAVE KNOW THIS. HIS GRAND MOTHER MARGARET DELL WAS A HACKENBERG AND WAS/IS MY MOTHER SISTER SHE WAS BORN IN BOYNE CITY, MICHIGAN I ALSO NOTED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL PEOPLE MISSING FROM THE FAMILY TREE. I WILL AND CAN HELP YOU CHANGE THAT. THANK YOU EUGENE KERR
