About 1962, my grandfather Wilhelm Ferdinand Haake (1895-1972) was the man who brought me up to genealogy. He was able to stir up my lasting interest in this wonderful hobby.
Between 1976 and 1985, I mainly was working on my Family Tree (only in German). The listed locations are explained in the location list (German).
Since the second half of the 1980's I started with my research of descendants. Now I am working on the descendants of seven selected ancestors of mine who have been living about 200 years ago. An eighth list deals with the Lehmku(e)hler descendants who are living in the U.S.

There is a mystery concerning the genealogy of our family. You can find the details here. Any hint or advice is highly appreciated.
I am member of the genealogical society "Roland zu Dortmund", of "Westfälische Gesellschaft für Genealogie und Familienforschung" (Münster) and of "Westdeutsche Gesellschaft für Familienkunde" (Köln). Since 1997, I am working on genealogical problems of some Germans from Russia. About 2'500 of them have come to Wertheim within the last 20 years.
