Hitting brick wall on paternal grandparents.With help from two persons on Family search I learned that in 1893Oct.11.They left Germany for the USA on the ship SS Elbe. I haven't been able to find them.It is probably my begging naivety.This was on my Grandfather's application for citizenship.Also on this application was my Grandmother's maiden name Louise Anna Hefner!My family wasn't close and in my family neither I nor my siblings asked questions about where we were from.In my family it just wasn't done.Thank You all for your time!

I noticed you were looking for the naturalization papers for you paternal gparents. Here is a free image from ancestry: https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/6187990?mark=7b22746f6b656e223a226a6e4b685677656a744d684f4165434e58693731474b67444c37594c695239484b58333772392b6d6163453d222c22746f6b656e5f76657273696f6e223a225632227d If you have a subscription to ancestry, here is the full link: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/1581480:61196 It looks like you have most of the info already, but maybe you can use it.
Also Paul, this looks like a marriage record for Heinrich Friederich Christian Ludwig Dreppenstedt, son of Frederick and Louisa, in Erichshagen, Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony), Deutschland (Germany) marrying Anna Marie Dorothee Dreppenstedt, daughter of Heinrich and Marie Dreppenstedt on the same day as you have recorded but for Fredric and Louisa: ancestry free image (in German) https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/6188260?mark=7b22746f6b656e223a224656333342773534787534346f63426b4b6578493468525761612b336374302f545954364e6e386e486b493d222c22746f6b656e5f76657273696f6e223a225632227d ancestry full record: https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/29331:61521
I think this could mean that Louise Berner may be your ggmother instead of your gmother. Food for thought.

Thanks for your time if you see this :) Cheers! Becky Elizabeth Id: Simmons-11603
Sorry haven't gotten back to you sooner. Been working on a lot of leads. So many emails coming in that yours got lost. I see we are connected through your mother Georgia Caroline (Houston) Dempster; (the Houston Line). the line does go back to 1404, John Padraig Houston. I'm not related to him. My line goes to John Houston 1430 2C 15XR then to John 1420 10C 18XR. At this point, my line diverges to Agnes Campbell, John 1420's spouse. Agnes is my 1C 16XR. My main line is the Stewarts. I am 24% Scottish, which is my largest individual ethnic group. Agnes' parents Duncan 2C 18XR & Margery my 15 GGA. Margery's father, Robert, starts the 1st of my Grand Fathers & a Royal line. I see that you also are connected to Agnes she is your 17 GGM. It's uncertain, there is one person that can't be totally confirmed in the line. It also looks like Sir John Padraig (Patrick) "of that ilk" Houston is your GGF with one, as above, uncertain person. You probably know all or most of this, but if not hope this helps. Hal

I can see that you've got a lot of people offering to help so I hope I am not interfering- I just felt we had some things in common and genuinely enjoy working on here! Take Care! Becky Elizabeth Simmons-11603
Thank you for the appreciation sent my way for some of the work I did on the profile for Emily May (Houston) Cocking (1888-1967). I have now finished what I was going to with the profile and I have left it orphaned (meaning I removed myself as profile manager) . If Emily May (Houston) Cocking (1888-1967) is your relative please feel free to become the profile manager.
I notice that you don't yet have any wikitree relatives connected to you - if you would like some help getting started, I and others on wikitree would be happy to help.
God Bless Ro.
We are so happy you decided to upgrade to the Family Member level.

You got the surname right. It's your Last Name at Birth. However, you can also enter Dempster in the "Other Last Names" field that you can see when you click on "Edit" on your profile. That's also the mode you use to add any information about your self.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance. I'm here for you!

I'm not sure if you have any dna or family members added yet but I'll check and if so maybe we are related. I started my genealogy work because I don't really have any biological family to talk to or learn from and I had a background in pre-med that included genetics..which crossed over nicely- so again; don't hesitate to reach out and I am fairly active on FamilySearch as well. My user name is almost always something like Beliza or BeckyElizabeth and on here my WikiTree ID is Simmons-11603. Cheers! Becky Elizabeth [email address removed]
