  [S8] Information from an informant - Auskunft eines Informanten - Information d'un informateur. Hello Ursula, Thanks for getting back to me. I have found this site very interesting. I'm not a big genealogy buff, but have enjoyed tracing my father's family back to Germany. I clicked on the link that would show how you and I are related, but it did not work. If you know that, I'd be interested! So, here is the info I can share on my immediate family. The info on the side about my father's parents, siblings and their children appears to be quite accurate. Here are some updates on my parents and siblings. I hope this helps. My father, Jacob John Gunther was married to my mother, Susan Mary Becker on July 15, 1947 in Melbourne, FL. They had 4 children: John Jacob Gunther - b. Dec. 10, 1947 in Winter Park, FL, d. March 14, 1968 in Vietnam William Henry Gunther - b. Feb. 28, 1949 in Winter Park, FL, d. Oct. 8, 1998 in Melbourne, FL Gerard Paul Gunther - b. Oct. 26, 1958 in Winter Park, FL Maria Elizabeth Gunther - b. Nov. 24, 1964, d. July 19, 1983 in Melbourne, FL Happy New Year to you and your family! Rod Gunther Rod Gunther [S8] Information from an informant - Auskunft eines Informanten - Information d'un informateur. Proposed Change: John Jacob Gunther (I247939) Tree: Südpfalz / Southern Palatinate Link: http://www.birkenhoerdt.net/getperson.php?personID=I247939&tree=Suedpfalz Description: Sergeant John Jacob Gunther Birth: Melbourne, Brevard County, Florida, USA *See Note Died: Kontum Province, South Vietnam Buried: Honored on Panel 44E - Line 43, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Washington, District of Columbia, USA I may well be able to find the cemetery where SGT Gunther is ACTUALLY buried but, I would rather see him honored in this way. As always, 'Its your decision.' Country may no longer exist, but country should be correctly listed this way! Note: Official record sez SGT Gunther was born in Melbourne. If you decide on what's there use this; Winter Park, Orange County, Florida, USA ADDED Space between 'Orange & County' wikipedia sez, "Melbourne is a city in Brevard County, Florida." wikipedia sez, "Winter Park is a suburban city in Orange County, Florida."
