17 January 1815, 205 years ago, in Klein Ingersheim, Würtemburg, my great great granduncle, Johann David Gaertner was born to Alexander Gaertner and Christina Regina Bauer.  Uncle David only lived 2 years and passed away 14 April 1817.   He was the first born of Alexander and Regina’s 12 children.  My great great grandfather, Wilhelm Gotthardt Gaertner (aka William G. Gardner) was number 12 and the first to leave Würtemburg and come to the United States in 1853.
