Hi Susanne - when someone has already been researched on a thread it's usually a good idea to add any updated request to that first thread. That way we have all the background info about a person in one place. Just saves us going over what's already been found and helps us to help you.

Susanne, I've found a little more info on Gjertine and it ties in with something on the other thread.

Hope you don't mind but I'll copy your new request onto that thread and then when I post the new information you'll see how it relates.
