Family Photographs

Posted on August 6, 2022 by Peter Stone

I have removed links to the sections featuring both historic family photographs and those of William Arendzen at the Indian Mission. I felt I had little choice because a number of pictures have been copied and re-posted, without permission and with no acknowledgement of the source. I am sorry that I’ve felt compelled to do…

Interactive Tree

Posted on October 12, 2020October 12, 2020 by Peter Stone

I have revamped the interactive family tree and have added more Strackés, including a descendant, Gottfried Kappen (1906-1981). He is of interest because he was a sculptor who descended through the female side of the Stracké family and is, as far as I am aware, the only sculptor not to bear the Stracké name. This…

Dates

Posted on May 24, 2020May 24, 2020 by Peter Stone

Dates I’ve been able to examine the Dutch birth registry and, as a result, have altered many dates. Many of the earlier dates, relating to the Arendzens, were taken from the UK census of 1901 which, it would seem, isn’t wholly accurate. I’ve also been able to fill in a number of missing dates of…

Family Tree

With that in mind, I have deliberately kept it simple, leaving out a number of family members where they’re not mentioned on the website. However, I still need to add a few more names and dates which should…

Sculpture.

Posted on May 5, 2020May 7, 2020 by Peter Stone

Sculpture. In updating the website, I have returned to various sources and have found much new material has been added, particularly works of sculpture. I have now added them so it’s worth looking at the sculpture link, found under “WORKS” in the menu bar at the top of the page.

Website Update.

Posted on May 2, 2020May 7, 2020 by Peter Stone

Website update. It’s ten years since I first put together the Arendzen/Stracké website so an update is overdue! Many things have moved on since 2010, particularly the way that people access the internet. It makes sense, therefore,  to create a responsive design that works as well on tablets and phones as it does on a…
