Note

Grandma Struwig was Dutch, and the story was that she was a Dresden, related to the Dutch Royal family by marriage. At some time in our lives we were told that there was money for the family on both of Dad's parents' sides. Royal family
and Struwigs if we could prove relationship. Imagine divvying it up between all the Struwigs in the world now.

Note

There was a scribbles note with surname Griessel but this is possibly wrong.
