Hi Carol

Sorry to hear about your mum.  I've started to 'try' and created my family tree on ancestry.com, I would love to include you part of the planck/blancks.  I've also found the German bit so frustrating...so many Plancks left Germany in the1800s, I wish we knew Jacob's parents'''it looks like he could have had a brother John but I'm not sure.  If you send me your email I'll send access to the tree.  Mine is *

Look forward to hearing from you!

Lizzie

Hi Carol

I think you were in contact with my mam, Linda.  She lives in Cyprus now so I've tried to pick up where she left off!  What a small world it is!!  I spoke to her at the weekend & she was looking for your email (it must be you - I don't think there are many carols in Australia looking for the tedeschi & Plancks!)

My gran had a picture of Sophia on her wall, she's since passed away & I'm trying to track down Sophia's picture.

Have you found any other information since you were last in touch with her?

I can't wait to tell her that we've made contact.

Best regards

Lizzie :)

Hi All

Jacob & Sophia are my ggg grandparents, their son Christopher was an AB sailor & somehowwended up on South Tynside - I still have his seaman's trunk which he brought from the Orkneys.  He appears on the cenus  as been moured in Sheilds harbour on a ship called 'Julia'.  If anyone has information as to where Jacob or Sophia came from ( I know Frankfurt Germany but have no records or documentation) I'd really appreciate it!
