Biography

This profile is part of the Gardner Name Study.

Different sources show birth other than Germany. I was told the reasons Michael's birth appeared questionable as to where, was because his mother fled Germany during the War. One of the sons, were stashed in a sea chest and had to endure the trip to the U.S. on very little food or comfort.
