Wilhelmine Shaer Lucke and Karl Lucke. Photos provided by Wayne Kuntze. Wayne and I crossed paths on ancestry.com in February 2010, as we were both researching our Lucke ancestors. These gems are the oldest known Lucke family photos! Also known as Charlie & Winnie, they are my great-great-great grandparents.
