Hey there, please help if you can.
I have finally located the town my G G Grandfather Georg Heinrich Graeter came from. He was born 1872. Married Margaret Etzel - apparently in England - although she was apparently German too - Stuttgart, Wuttermberg i think...

I am struggling to get anywhere else here- have been searching for over 15years as this is my surname line. When in England - they they altered name to Geroge Henry Grater.
He started up a pork butcher shop in High Street, Sunderland called 'Grater and sons' - which my G Grandfather John Henry also worked in and eventually took over.
I am planning to go to Germany in 2012 and would love to have a bit more info - or even some advice about this search.
Thanks very much, Helen
