Comments (Ewald John Goehring b. 9 Nov 1916 Kassel, Hutchinson County,
South Dakota, USA d. 6 Jul 2007 Bakersfield, Kern County, California,
USA): Hello, First, thank you for The Birkenhordt Project. It is first
rate. Ewald Goehring was my father, Magdalena Spitzer was my mother. They
did get married on Jan 04, 1943 but it was in Shafter, Kern County,
California, not S. Dakota as listed. A minor change considering the level
of detail your site includes, but I thought I'd write you. No need to
reply. If it gets corrected, I'll see it there. Thanks again, Ken G.
Kenneth Ewald Goehring
