Great Godt
family reunion in the Hotel Hollmann
Halle: Today the live in
Westphalia, Danmark and the USA. But where did they come from?
At their family reunion at Hotel Hollmann the Godt's worked on the exchange of
the history and updating the commen pedigree.
47 members of the Godt
family visited old farms in Hörste and Brockhagen at saturday, made new
contacts and reforced their contacts
over the country borders. They have found the oldest documents of the name Godt
in Hörste. Since 1550 it is found there, since about
1600 the name is found as well in the danish Rinkenæs.
"There are two big
branches" explains Hans-Jürgen Godt, who came from Braunschweig and
coordinates the website www.godt.de "
And since 1838 there is at least one Godt in the USA" he continues.
August Godt from Brockhagen
emigrated to Wright City in Missouri. His grandson Paul-Wilhelm now used the
chance to visit three of his
nephews in Westphalia - for the first time. Together with the artist Heidi
Godt, who came from Los Angeles und appeared for example in the
soap "King of Queens", he had the longest travel. The most northern
visitirs came from Copenhagen, but the most south "only" from Karlsruhe.
