Here’s a photo we found in my Dad’s stuff. It shows his grandmother’s home in Cincinnati in July 1939. That would be Mary Klei Pulskamp. I wonder if the house is still there. If so, can someone take a photo of it today and I can post that also? The address is 1608 Young Street, […]

The Pulskamp clan started in Merzen, Germany, so you would be correct to think we are German Americans, but over the years in America we have become a very diverse group. Our family now includes members with ancestors from all the inhabited continents (well, I am not sure about Australia, though I have found links […]

Leona Pulskamp Doll published her book about the descendants of the middle son around 1980 and Mary Elizabeth Ryan Pulskamp published her book about the descendants of the youngest son around 1987. Both books have been marvelous resources for us. (We […]
