I was so surprised to read about your mother. My name is Elaine Staack Donaldson and I am wondering if she was a relative of mine. My mother was Elaine Miller Staack and my Father was Henry A Staack. My grandmother was Charlotte Cleary and Grandfather was Christian Frederick Staack from Hamburg, Germany. Please - can you give me any more info on Elaine? I am very interested in Geneology. Thanks, Elaine. My e-mail is [email protected]. I live in Texas on the Toledo Bend Lake. Thanks again, Elaine PS a long time ago I worked at the National American Bank with a man named Warren Jane' and he told me he was married to my cousin. Does this sould familiar?
