Subject: ilovepaper2
Hello my name is Cory Eykamp the GG grandson of Gerhard Eykamp. You have him in your family tree. You have his parentage going back 3 generations. Which if accurate I would be very excited to know about. Having always hit a wall between him and Eykamps of previous generations. However you have him being born in Hannover which is acurate but also dying in Hannover. Which is very much false. He came to America in 1880 and had 6 children and died in ogle co. Il. Also his middle name on your tree is Janssen. Which happens to be the surname of his wife Galathea. Would love to hear from you. My e-mail is (XXXXX@XXXX.XXX)
Thanks.....Cory"
