There were several Gneisenau ships in the German military. The ship in these photos was launched in 1906. It was scuttled and sunk in action in 1914 at the Battle of the Falkland Islands. There is detailed information here,

    Hi kkt

    I hope that you are still there…..

    I have my ancestry tracked to a Joseph Grice from Pennsylvania, born in 1768. I am working on a theory that Joseph’s grandfather may be connected. How can I get access to the “Old Letters” or the Grice family papers/

    Thank you! I am a descendant of Joseph through my mother. (Joseph-Charles A-Samuel Davis-Francis Marion-Frank McMullan- to my grandfather Francis Marion). I have seen the memoir previously but had no idea that his likeness had been captured. I can see bits of him in some photos of my grandfather.
