Hello. As I've not traveled to Germany and surrounding areas, I must ask for forgiveness ahead of time about spelling and ignorance about how locations are properly referred or identified.
My mother's side is of the Knoke/Knocke family line. I would like to find death/burial information and locations, if available, for those who lived and died in Germany. If someone will direct me where to begin, that would be great. Some names, dates, and locations below. Thank you.
